Correction to the last post.  We didn't open the streetside entrances to FG as the opening would place you right on top of the curb and concrete footings that are being installed for the Vassar Street  program - not a very safe entrance.  Hopefully, we can get this open next weekend.

Sorry for this mix-up.

The streetside entrances to FG, HJK, ABC and DE have been cleared and the contractors are going to open access to each door for the weekend. These will be closed again on Monday to continue work, but we wanted to give you as much access as possible.

Please excuse the dirt on the sidewalk - we're trying our best, but you can imagine what it's been like with the recent rain.

Have a great weekend and if you have any questions please write or call.

Update 7/24/08

The caulk removal on streetside buildings FG and HJK has been completed and crews have started removing caulk on the streetside of buildings ABC and DE. The encapsulation painting phase has been delayed by a few days due to weather but we are expecting to begin tomorrow (Friday).

We are planning on providing weekend access to the streetside entrances if the doors can be cleared and equipment can be moved, and the entrances are deemed safe.

The concrete sampling with rotory hammer (loud) that was scheduled for today between 10 and 2 has been pushed back to tomorrow as well due to weather.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please email or call. I can be reached at rgang@mit.edu, or at 978-390-6915. You can always find me at the site trailer as well.
