Click here Barnard College Update - Friday, Aug. 11, 2017Dear Claremont resident: It has been a busy summer on The Milstein Center construction site as we continue the installation of the exterior walls. We expect this phase of the construction to be completed by late September at which time most of the remaining work will occur inside the building. The majority of the exterior wall of The Milstein Center is clad with shingled panels of patinated zinc, both angled and flat. We also want to alert you that there will be a crane located on Claremont Avenue this Tuesday, Aug. 15, from approximately 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. The crane, which will be located near the north construction gate and take up most of the two lanes, will be used to lift the mechanicals on to the roof of the new building. However, Claremont Avenue will remain open to traffic with vehicles being routed along the west side parking lane from approximately W. 116th St. to W. 119th St. There will be flag people in place to help direct traffic and assist pedestrians crossing the street. Parking will not be allowed along a portion of Claremont Avenue – please see the posted signs for the specific areas that will be designated no parking. We suggest you move your vehicle by Monday at midnight. In addition, we wanted to let you know that the construction team will not be working tomorrow (Saturday, Aug. 12). However, you may still notice activity on weekends as our Barnard Facilities team continues to work on several areas of campus in preparation for the return of our students in late August. Thank you again for your patience and have a great weekend. Schedule The schedule continues to be Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. and Saturdays, 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Questions? For general questions and comments, please email me at newbuilding@barnard.edu. If you have an urgent issue that needs to be addressed immediately, please email constructionteam@barnard.edu during regular work hours, or call Barnard Public Safety at 212/854-3362 outside of regular work hours. You can also find our overall construction plan and specific construction-related FAQs on our website: http://barnard.edu/about-barnard/new-teaching-learning-center/construction-faqs. Thank you.
