I also want to tell you about upcoming changes in the Department's ABET accreditation process and about the help we need from you to be reaccredited. There was a lot more asbestos in the old part of the building than we thought there was.
Nothing can happen with remodeling until the asbestos is removed.
In mid December, the asbestos crew finished decontaminating the last room. The new classrooms are not finished yet, so we will be teaching in other buildings until they are completed sometime in Spring Semester '98. The new target for the building to be finished is April 1, 1998. This looks realistic, as the construction crews have just been waiting for the asbestos to be removed. The new facilities are well worth waiting for.
