Description:
We would like to conduct an experiment to lessen the noise between faculty offices. Before insulating all the offices, we'd like to insure this will fix the noise issue by having insulation blown in to 1 wall between office 2345 and 2343, If the holes are drilled near the ceiling, the insulation will be able to settle and still be a good barrier. Also, by making the holes up very high, less cosmetic work will be necessary due to existing drop ceiling. We are interested in the noise lessening but also doing this as economically as possible.

Including making the colors of the concrete match either via cleaning, coloring or re-pouring. - Opening up the entrance by changing the panels to the south of the walk way, potentially removing some - Lighting under the walkway and light the department sign that is inside the building - Improve the signage - Improve the look of the red brick exterior of Lee Liu Auditorium – to this end, see attached renderings as a proposed idea for this area - Clean and fix the building façade – windows, rust spots, etc. Add bird detractors to help maintain the cleanliness - Improve the look and condition of the retaining wall to the south of the sidewalk. Which could include removing the retaining wall, regrading and improving that grassy area.
