Monroe Hall Update
Steve Hanna, chair of the geography department, has posted new photos of the inside of the renovated Monroe Hall. You can see them, and comment here: http://umwgeography.org/2011/06/24/monroe-hall-ready-for-its-close-up/#more-998.
Facilities Services began moving office furniture and classroom furniture into lecture halls and office suites last week. Faculty began moving into Monroe Tuesday and Wednesday. Over the course of the next few weeks UMW will receive computer lab furniture and computers, seminar room furniture, and build-out of the large lecture hall will be completed. Installation and testing of classroom audio-visual systems will also be completed. Facilities Services has asked that faculty and staff who want to tour the newly refurbished building postpone their plans until after August 1, so final construction and installation will not be disrupted. Monroe Hall, named after the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe, was completed in 1911 and is one of the original buildings on campus.

Office Moving Tips
Summer is a busy time, especially with many offices moving. Please remember to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle as you prepare to move or clean out your office. Most items in our offices can be recycled; visit the UMW recycling web site http://www.umw.edu/recycle/umw_recycling_categories for information on the categories collected.
A few quick reminders:
Keep bags and boxes light, if you cannot pick it up neither can we.
Separate plastic binders and other non-paper products from recyclable paper.
Separate trash from recyclables; cardboard boxes with trash and Styrofoam in them become trash.
Cardboard boxes should be flattened for recycling.
Place trash in waste receptacles.
Thank you for your support!
