On Oct. 10, residents of Ziv and Ridgewood gathered for their second town meeting, to discuss the noise disturbances from the neighboring construction of the new dormitory. The meeting resulted in the following negotiations: No heavy equipment is to be used on weekends, no heavy equipment is to be used before 8:30 a.m. on weekdays, earplugs are to be provided for residents and air filters should be provided for rooms that are affected by the construction's dust.

According to Project Manager of Campus Operations John J. Cummings, the construction team is preparing for delivery of structural steel that is scheduled to arrive in the end of November. Construction will continue every Saturday through Nov. 30.

Cummings ensured that every effort possible will be made to reduce loud noise-producing activities before 8:30 a.m., especially on Saturday mornings.
