from H. Jay Blauser, Facilities Management

Due to ongoing renovations in the Collins Building, the interdepartmental mailboxes will be temporarily relocated from Collins room 233 over to the Mitchell Building later this week.  Campus Police are planning to have the Mitchell Building unlocked for access during normal business hours Monday- Friday and secured after business hours daily during this temporary situation.

We regret any inconvenience caused as a result of this campus facility improvement project.  Your continued patience and cooperation during this period is greatly appreciated.  Please direct questions and/or concerns to Jay Blauser at extension 1954.
