[math-ias] IAS Construction Update

[Institute for Advanced Study]

Good afternoon,

 

A brief overview of the construction activities occurring around campus
next week. 

 

Rubenstein Commons

 

Th installation of the steel window framing is a rather long process and
will continue through next week.  We expect some glass delivery very soon
with installation to follow.

 

Energy Savings Project

 

Geothermal System - The well system is operational, and providing
geothermal water to all buildings.  Next week, landscape contractors will
finish the regrading and restoration of the area behind Simonyi Hall, as
well as the stone cleanup, repairs, and reseeding of all the bare areas
where underground pipe was installed. (near Simonyi, Bloomberg, Fuld and
the Library)  The replanting of shrubs and trees next to the trolley track
trail on the edge of the woods is complete.

 

HS/SS Library - The start-up of the heat pump for the library will occur
next week, but there will be no work outside the mechanical areas.

 

West Building - Boiler demolition will continue into next week.  The
removal of the old boiler to dumpsters (the noisy part) is ongoing and
will continue into next week.  If the noise becomes an issue or there are
meetings scheduled (toward the north end of the building), please contact
me as soon as possible.  

 

Simonyi Hall - The new heat pump in Simonyi Hall is up and running.
Insulation of pipe, and the finalization of controls is ongoing.  There
will be a few contractors on the ground floor throughout the week doing
cleanup and other small jobs. 

 

Bloomberg Hall - The heat pump in Bloomberg is operational and the final
tweaking of controls as well as the insulation of the piping will continue
into next week.  (Chilled water from West building still serves the
"Biology" half of the building, because the new connection between
Bloomberg and Biology is not yet complete.)  There will be contractors
working in all mechanical rooms on the ground floor next week and they
will be using the ground floor hallway to access those room.  On Tuesday
and Wednesday of next week, contractors will be working in the ceiling of
the second floor Men's and Ladies rooms, as well as the main entrance
vestibule to modify the HVAC units there.  For the short period when the
rest rooms are out of service, please use the rest rooms in the Biology
wing or on the first floor.  Also. please use the end entrance (C
Building) to access Bloomberg Hall during that time.  

 

Fuld Hall - Other than some mechanical work in the sub-basement, there
will be no work in Fuld Hall next week.

 

There will be no work during the next two weeks in A, B, and D Buildings,
Simons Dining, or Wolfensohn Hall.

 

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the projects and
the work being done, please contact me.   

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
