Good Morning MSPQC Students, The new office furniture for your room will arrive next week as scheduled. The layout and furniture design sketches are attached to this email so you have an idea of what it will look like. Please remove all of your belongings by the end of the day TODAY so that the old furniture can be removed and the new furniture installed next week. If everything goes as scheduled you will only need to be out of your office on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next week. I will keep you updated if there are any unexpected delays and you will receive notice from me once it is okay to occupy the office again later next week. I’ve reserved 5280 Chamberlin Hall for the following hours so you have a place to study during your office remodel. Monday, September 30th 8am-5pm Tuesday, October 1st 8am-5pm Wednesday, October 2nd 8am-2:30pm Please let me know if you have any questions along the way. Thanks! Michelle -- Michelle R.Z.
