<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">Construction begins soon on Weiskotten Hall, which will benefit from a much-needed renovation. The first step involves closure of the A parking lot, causing
a ripple effect in all parking on the south side of campus. There will be some increased parking by Silverman Hall that will not completely offset the lost spaces. I would share more details with you but final answers are not yet clear. More importantly, there
will be noise and dust in the construction zone. Once that begins the NAB and Silverman will be the least impacted. Weiskotten labs, offices and classrooms – stay tuned. The estimated length of the construction/renovation is 2 years.
