Third Floor Update
Six more weeks and the move will be done!!!
Timeline:
Construction
Third floor construction is nearly complete with a bit more electrical and HVAC work ahead. Safety electric has been working today and will be also working on Monday with the power in the third floor work room central columns.The last major item on third floor will be running new data lines in the offices and central portions of the room.
Work is still ahead of schedule on the third floor. Everything but the doors will be in place and the sheeting removed by the end of next week. This will allow work to begin in part over the next couple of weeks for moving some of the office occupants on the third floor, beginning work on moving freestanding items as spaces are cleared, and arranging for transitional storage needs on the northeast end of the room for RAS and the southeast corner of the room for the Press so their shelving can be erected the week of April 15th and their items relocated.
Please see the current reconfiguration map and the current gantt for the move. The committee representatives for each area will all be working with me to adjust and coordinate these dates and times as needed but it should give a good general picture of the order of events.

Survey
Thanks to all who took the time to do the furniture survey. It has helped a lot! There will be a second survey sent out for folks that might have some other options for the spaces – I’m in discussions with Faye on what we can offer but it sounds like at least painting the offices (there will be three options for color), chairs if there are any replacement needs, varidesks, and shelves as desired.
March 17, 2019
Not a lot of change lately, mostly waiting on new information the last couple of weeks but I do have some new things to share.
What's happening now?
There is ongoing construction on the third and fourth floors. Third floor has the dry wall up and is 80% done with taping and mudding. The wall opening in the pony wall on the west side of the room will be complete by the end of this week.
The fourth floor, the walls are about 80% complete, tape and mud is at 15% while electrical and ceilings are about 40% complete overall.
Controls and pneumatics in the HVAC system are slated for upgrade before the end of June. Some additional work will be done by ClimaTech but the scope is still being finalized.
Timeline updates:
Committee is still meeting Thursday mornings and has been discussing the reconfiguration layout. There are still minor modifications that may happen.
Major construction is expected to be completed by April 15th on the third floor allowing for folks to move offices a bit early. The reconfiguration will still be planned for the first week in May with a couple weeks prior prepping and clearing the spaces in the central portion of the room.
Ecampus will move back in the first week of July.
Survey
Furniture survey that has gone out ideally needs to be back by tomorrow. This will help immensely in determining what furniture is moving and not, as well as the amount of surplus items that may be reused internally between departments or just cleared out in advance of the move. During the reconfiguration, cubicles and large pieces of furniture will be taken care of but folks will be responsible for moving their own personal effects.
Networking
The networking cables for the new offices and the columns in the center of the third floor workroom are to be added in the next few weeks. This means there may be some shuffling to clear access for the workers to pull the lines and update the ports there.
Third Floor Layout
The half wall running along the west side of the room will indeed have an opening next to the last office. The floorplan on the wiki is an easy reference to see the pathways and aisle clearances though you may need to zoom in if you’d like to see exact dimensions. Other details like where data ports and outlets are nearing final determination. The 17 cubicles running along the window are staying the same structurally.
