Click here Barnard College Update - Tuesday, June 20, 2017Dear Claremont resident: We are pleased to report we continue to make progress on installing the exterior walls of The Milstein Center and that you can now see how the windows and façade look from the residences along Claremont. This work will continue over the summer. We also want to alert you that beginning tomorrow, (Wednesday, June 21), and continuing until sometime in early August, we will be working to connect water and sewer from the main utility lines located beneath Claremont Avenue to The Milstein Center. During these weeks, parking on the west side of Claremont will be limited, there will be periodic lane closures, and you may notice some intermittent noise from the removal of rock beneath the street. Parking will not be allowed on the west side of Claremont Avenue from approximately W. 119th Street to 29 Claremont for the duration of the site utility installation including Saturdays and Sundays, and the lane closures will periodically occur in roughly the same area. Cones will be in place to block those affected parking spaces. We don’t anticipate that Claremont Avenue will be completely closed to traffic at any time, and we will have flag people in place to help direct traffic and assist pedestrians crossing the street. The water and sewer work will only be done Monday through Friday and will not be done on Saturdays. Our Saturday schedule for the other work on the building remains as usual. You may also notice days when work isn’t occurring. This is because the water and sewer work will involve periodic inspections from City agencies so there may be days when we are awaiting approvals in order for the work to move forward. Please note, however, that even though there may be days when work isn't occurring, the no parking regulations will remain in place. Thank you again for your continued patience and have a great week. 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.
