CONSTRUCTION. The 2nd floor mauka offices and restrooms (rooms 203 - 208) will be undergoing remodeling beginning September 27 through early November. Anticipate some noise and dust but we hope the disruptions will be minimal. Because the 2nd floor mauka restrooms will be closed, the downstairs restrooms will remain open during evenings and weekends. Contact the Associate Dean with concerns.
