PHYSICAL OPERATIONS
	Greg Rodolari, Director of Physical Operations During the past year we continued our seismic safety program. In June, we completed ongoing seismic renovation of another 105 resident rooms; of the total 470 resident rooms, only 25 rooms still require work. Seismic retrofit work includes the encapsulation of dangerous hollow-clay tile walls throughout seven floors of residential corridors serving residents, staff and visitors. These hollow-clay tile walls have also been braced to the structure to minimize any chance of collapse. Under the guidance of historic preservation architects Carey & Company, the 105 resident rooms were also renovated and updated maintaining their historic character. One of our top priorities is to enhance the safety of residents, staff and all visitors to I-House. By the end of the year 2001, we hope to have completed the seismic safety enhancement and renovation of each resident room. Other completed projects include:     •    Fleishhacker Library has been retrofitted with internet connections for 64 students/laptops. Demand for high speed internet connections at I-House is forever increasing.     •    Public restrooms on the ground floor were completely renovated with new floors, tile work, partitions, lighting and fixtures next to the Chevron Auditorium. Future projects:     •    Seismic Safety and related renovations of office space     •    Renovation and disabled access for the Clarence E. Heller Patio     •    Enhanced disabled access throughout the building     •    Renovation of resident toilet, wash and shower rooms     •    Renovation of the Fleishhacker Library     •    Overhaul of the two service elevators     •    Renovation of East dining room     •    Replacement of the 70 year old resident room door locks     •    Ongoing replacement of old resident room furnishings Return to I-House Times menu.
