[Faculty] Engineering Roof Leak

Mon Nov 21 11:49:29 PST 2016

Hi Marcie,

What an unfortunate event at a very inconvenient time. I am sure rooms on
the 4th floor are in much more dire shape than my office.

The inspector who visited my office this morning told me that they may rip
off the carpet and replace it any time in a matter of days. While I totally
understand why they are hard pressed to control the damage as fast as they
can, if they can publish a tentative schedule (which room will be worked on
at what time), that will help us plan accordingly (to disconnect or move
the computers from the affected rooms) .

Thanks,

Sooby
