SUBJECT: Progress Report Ne. 149
Effective 8 a.m. Friday August 8, 1969, we took possession of the
Lecture Hall Center. This was done under Article 22 which provides for
possession of the Facility prior to completion due to urgent requirements.
Although the bullding ts essentially complete architecturally there were
stll| several serious Incompletions particularly In the electrical work.
Our possession of the bullding however, will not interfere with the rate
of completion of this electrical work looking toward a more complete state
by'September 15. Even now we have complete lighting and most of the other
essentials for general occupancy of the Facility.
Formal takeover of the building will occur after the bultding Is 100%
complete and may be several months from now. .
Practically all furniture has arrived, all carpet has arrived and Is
now being Installed. As of Wednesday, August 13 carpet is about one-half
installed, We have received word that al! seating has been fabricated and
is in readiness to be shipped. We will advise the seating manufacture when
thls should take place and as early as posslble when the laying of the carpet
warrants. All keys to the bullding have been received and have been distributed
to responsible personnel In the Lecture Center. Movement of furniture Into the
Facl lity is well under way. It Is anticlpated that all of these preparations
will be completed comfortably before the Fall Semester.
|
Labeling and Numbering of all rooms has been completed, to facilitate
the identification of rooms both for the Installation of furniture and for
subsequent occupation by students and faculty. Telephone communicatlons
system has been developed and conveyed to the New York Telephone Company.
These telephones will be Installed as required and will be phased so that
full use of the communications system will be available for the beginning
of the Fall Semester.
Chalkboard is installed as a part of the contractoral work In all rooms
except three of the 247 seat Halls. The erection of chalkboards In these
halls, according to special specifications. prescribed by Mathematics, has
been deligated to the Plant Department which reports that thls will be complete
for the Fall Semester. All in all I+ appears as though this FaclItiy wlll be
in a higher state of readiness by September than several others that we have
‘occupied under equally pressing circumstances,
