From Monday, March 12 through Friday, March 16th, the main stairwell in Messinger Hall will be unavailable while the construction team modifies handrails and guard rails in order to meet current building codes. Work is expected to begin at 6am and conclude by 2:30pm daily. During these times the stairwell will be taken off line and the passenger elevator will be the sole means to access the 2nd and 3rd floors.

The East avenue emergency exit stairwell will remain on-line and temporary emergency exit signage will be added to direct people this way in the event there was an emergency. If there were a need to re-open the center staircase, under emergency, the contractors would do so very quickly.

The elevator lobby, restrooms and all other areas outside the project, will remain open and you will be permitted to cross the stairwell landings to and from the elevator lobby. Please exercise caution while traversing these areas.
