Well, it has been a fair amount of time since you've heard from me on construction. My silence on the subject was a mere pause for celebration of our accomplishments—but it is now time to move on to the next project.
As many of you are aware, we will be starting the Lawyers Club renovation and Phase II renovations in Hutchins Hall this summer. In preparation for the construction, we need to do a bit of utility work in the southeast corner of the Quad (near the Smith underground light well). Contractors will be driving beams into the ground to support some of the new mechanical structure on the following days:
—Wednesday, March 14, from 9am to 5pm
—Thursday, March 15, from 9am to 12 noon
—If required, Monday, March 19, from 9am until completed (not later than 5pm)
It will, unfortunately, be noisy, but we wanted to get this work done now before we get close to the end of the semester. Get out your headphones!
—Michele Frasier Wing, '98, Director of Finance and Planning

This is a very exciting time for the School, as we begin to inhabit South Hall—the first new non-library space constructed on the premise that nice windows are good things. It's a beautiful, inspiring new space that provides comfortable workspaces, common areas, and top technology. I want to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as many of us engage in the large and complicated move to the new building (or, eventually, to elsewhere in Hutchins and LRB). Those who have already moved say it's been swift and efficient.
To help everyone keep abreast of where people and offices are at any given point in time, we have posted a list of all of the people or units moving to South Hall and the times of their moves. This will also enable everyone to be aware of which offices will be closed temporarily for moving days.
Obviously it's a very busy and stressful time for many of you—certainly everyone who is moving across the street, and even many who are staying on this side of Monroe street but will otherwise be impacted one way or another. Moving is always a hassle, especially if you're like me and procrastinate with the weeding out of things until after you arrive with seven gazillion boxes on your new desk. It always takes some time to get used to new spaces and layouts and to figure out exactly how many steps it takes you to get to the nearest coffee pot. And, of course, those of you who are moving need to deal with the Third Law of Thermodynamics, which is that the student or faculty demand for your particular services will peak on the precise day of your move. While it may take you a little time to settle into your new environs, I know you'll soon enjoy some of the nice features that come along with 21st century building designs.
