One side of the staircase will be closed for maintenance, and contractors will be using a strong-smelling solvent.
On Thursday and Friday, August 23 and 24, a contractor will be working on one side of the stairs in the Rubenstein Library entrance that lead from the first to second floor. One side of the staircase will be closed but the other side will be open.
The contractor will be using a solvent/cleaner that will produce a strong odor in the immediate area. It will be vented outside, but if you have any allergy or odor sensitivity issues you may want to utilize the main Perkins Library entrance to keep some distance from the area.
