On the first floor; labs 141 and 142. The line sets for each of these units will be run down the corridor above the ceilings to the janitor's closet at the east end of the corridor and then to the basement and out the east side of the building, below grade to be concealed. There will be some drilling involved to penetrate walls and the floor, but that should be the extent of the noise.The line sets may be run during class hours and should be minimally invasive. A compressor will be installed outside after classes and exams have concluded. This should occur during the week of May 20-24.
Seven units have already been installed on the first floor (rooms 150,152,154,155,156,157,158, and 158A). They will be tied into this system.
