S-2 Contracting will be performing core drilling, adjacent to Columbia Hall, as part of the Volcanology steam pipe emergency replacement project. They will begin work prior to building occupancy, starting at 7:00 am, and will be keeping noise to a minimum, as much as possible. The noise will be intermittent at times during the course of their work, but should not be at a level that will prevent normal operations. They are expected to complete their task by 12:00 noon.
