A few weeks ago there was a small fire in the south stairwell. Dr. Jesus talked to the landlords about this: the south stairwell should be used only in case of emergency. It cannot be used for non-emergency purposes. There will be a security system that will alarm on use or monitor use of the stairwell. Other discussions are in progress with the first floor tenant to ensure that the exit will be clear and that it will remain usable as an exit. This work is not yet complete, but it's underway.
2169 Mission[edit]
- Electrical
- Library
- Kitchen
- Network
- Heat
Andy bought some plastic film that prevents heat from escaping as readily through the skylights, particularly the skylights with vents. There is more film available and some ladders if people want to put up more of this.
