Facilities Walk Through - Dec 3rd

On Friday the 30th, Rachel Hicks and I met with Larry Black from Facilities to discuss the various broken things that have been reported or we've found. The moral of that story is that if you endow a building fund, be sure to endow the maintenance fund too.

Then, this morning, I walked through Belfer and Taubman reviewing the spaces we thought might work for additional study space. You can read the nauseating details here.

There is some hope of squeezing in more study space. In the meantime, take advantage of the couches you find throughout Taubman and the very nice space above Starr Auditorium. Don't forget all the Harvard libraries are open to you for studying And keep in mind Littauer was designed for 300 students.

On the plus side - KSG is the only Harvard School to buy 100% renewable power for the buildings. A year ago they replaced over 800 light fixtures in Taubman, bringing the energy use in the building down 16%.
