Noise Northwestern University Facilities Management Reconstruction of the Technological Institute P lease excuse our excuse our noise and dust . . .
Summer is over and classes are back in session, but the construction seems to never end.
Indeed, several more years of work remain before Tech is entirely renovated. In meanwhile, noise, dust, fumes, and occasional utility interruptions will continue to haunt the building. But please don't think that the work taking place is performed without any regard for the occupants. Let me assure you that I meet with representatives from Pepper Construction regularly to strategize how to minimize the impact of these activities on faculty, staff and students. Steel erection was accomplished in just two days with the aid of a helicopter.
