A Lot Less at Lot-Less

In case you missed it on Friday, protesters invaded and occupied the New School buidling on our block for about 6 hours on Friday morning. Unlike the previous demonstration in December, this one was summarily shut down by a powerful NYPD push at the request of the university, and around 20 occupiers, some of whom appear to have been troublemakers as opposed to students, were arrested. The real losers in all this were the businesses on our block, who were prevented from opening until Friday afternoon.

Next week (February 25 to March 1), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors inside the building as well as roof work. Additionally we will begin work on the new sidewalks around the building. We have begun dismantling the construction hoist on the building exterior and will continue to do so for the upcoming weeks.

The following week (March 4 to March 8), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors and roofs as well as sidewalk work.

This weekend the site will be open on Saturday, February 23rd for interior, superstructure, sidewalk, and hoist removal related activities between the work hours of 7AM and 5PM as permitted by the City.

There will be a co-op meeting on June 7 at 7pm at the Seafarer’s and International House, located at 123 East 15th St.

You’ll find it on 12th St. just west of University. Early reviews are great (although likely phony).

Our students have moved into the dormitory which is on the top eight floors with its own entrance. The first day of classes was August 26th and a new semester is now underway. It is anticipated that the academic portion of the building (first eight floors) will be completed in time for this year’s second semester. We will keep you posted. Some of you can see our green roof which is also an exciting addition.

Next week (September 9 to September 13), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on the academic floors inside the building.

The following week (September 16 to September 20), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on academic floors.
