ZESIGER CENTER
The building's opening is scheduled for Sept. 23. Swimming pools are filled; water treatment is in progress. Spectator seating is installed. Squash court installation is complete, and flooring is in progress. General interior finishes are nearing completion.

VASSAR STREET
Because of the reconstruction of Vassar Street, the entrance and exit lanes under Building 39 have been changed temporarily. Beginning on Thursday, Sept. 5 and continuing for several days, the regular entrance lane will be closed to allow work in the roadway. The normal exit lane will be converted to a two-lane entrance and exit road. Signs, cones and police will direct traffic in and out of the campus. Once the entrance lane work is complete, the project will switch sides. The normal exit will be closed, and the entrance will become an entrance and exit lane.
