Not only during the scheduled renovation period, but in case the renovations drag on longer than expected. Contingencies plans are a must! Letting your users know what to expect during renovations is a good policy. Another thing to consider, if feasible, is to have as much of the packing and unpacking done by "local" staff and/or students rather than outside companies. You may not remember this as an advantage from your student days at BU, but I sure do! It saves money but more to the point it saves aggravation when you need to have things organized a certain way. It also helps to have an inventory. I've known departments to "lose" equipment while it is in storage. Keep track of what comes out of your room! best, bruce
