**** IMPORTANT GENERAL NOTES ****

PROJECT SIGNAGE - Please pay close attention to all project-related signs posted around the project perimeter and alerting everyone to site condition changes and safety issues, including building access routes. These signs are provided for everyone's benefit and safety. If anyone does NOT want to remain on this mailing list please let me know.

GROUND VIBRATIONS - Some ground vibrations may occasionally be felt with different construction activities but these are typically not of the type to cause structural problems within buildings. Loose items within buildings may be effected by these vibrations and possibly rattle and/or shake a bit.

CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE ACCESS - Please pay attention to contractor vehicles within the construction site and crossing the cross-way exiting from Kemeny Hall. These vehicles will be escorted by construction crew personnel - PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR DIRECTIONS. Please also pay attention to contractor vehicles which continue to access and leave the construction site via the Maynard St. entrance adjacent to Moore Hall.

DETOURS AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION SITE - For the duration of this project (Sept. '07) the main walkway running between the Berry/Carson building and Moore Hall will be closed to pedestrian foot traffic. Pedestrian detour routes are via the sidewalks of either No. Main St. or College St. as shown on the enclosed Kemeny Walkway Detour PDF map. People exiting the lower level of Kemeny Hall can use a temporary cross-walk passing through the construction site and over to the parking lot of the United Church of Christ - PLEASE USE CAUTION AND PAY ATTENTION TO ALL ADJACENT CONTSRUCTION ACTIVITIES WHEN USING THIS CROSS-WALK.
