the new building
Well, we're in.  The new building is awesome.  I love some of the work they've put into the renovations.  There's two sections of ceiling tile work, one over the main desk in the library and one over the escalators, with hanging lamps that are absolutely lovely.  They have a slight coppery tint to them, which really makes the lamp light warmer in those areas instead of constant glaring flourescents.
 
We also have working escalators now, so we don't have to wander around and climb the stairs all the time.  The elevators were working today, too... which was nice when I picked up lunch for everyone in Student Services and had my hands full of Long John Silver's.
 
It would be nice if we could get doors now.  Not everyone has a door.  Of course, the doors that are up seem to be getting changed out... so maybe we'll get really nice ones.  The ones that were up originally were really disgusting.
 
I went around today and made sure all the rooms had the right number of chairs in them.  People seem to be moving them from room to room... and it's really annoying because we're trying to keep a running inventory for when we start switching out old furniture from the other buildings with the new furniture that's on its way in.  We don't have all of it... or all of the new computers and white boards... yet.
 
However, looking at some of the rooms that are finished, this building's going to be really awesome.
