A crew is gathering to clean-out and tie up loose ends Monday afternoon at 5pm at the old Main St. UC IMC. Drop by, it's a short 2-hour or less project. We could really use your help! |

It will be a Memorial Day salute to the effective service the old UC IMC space provided. If you pine for one last experience at the original, historic UC IMC space at 218 West Main in beautiful and progressive downtown Urbana, this is your chance. The property will be turned back over to our ever-forebearing and big-hearted landlords, the Beavers, on Wednesday, June 1.
Anyone who has a key for the old space needs to exchange it or request a deposit return ASAP. The Space group will set a deadline for this at its meeting on Wednesday, June 1 at the new UC IMC space. Please contact me for any key-related issues.
If there is anything we cannot accomplish at the old Main St. Monday evening, we have one last chance to arrange it on Tuesday. But almost everything is gone from the space aleady. A few wall brackets, the CAT-5 network, the wireless node on the roof, etc are all that is left. This will be among the last chances to get anything out if people need it or to take one last look.
We'll have all the cleaning supplies we need. The Movin' Crew left us most everything we need. The backend of the old space is actually almost ready to go. The production room needs swept after the desk brackets are removed. We have to liberate the scowling judge from his corner, but I've got a ladder. The front space otherwise needs major sweepage, but it should be a 2-hour job or less.
And, if possible, we have to liberate the CAT-5 network from its entanglement with the building. It may have to be abandoned in place; there's no point in chopping it half off. Let me hear your thoughts on that if you have a concern -- we're short-handed at this time, even assuming we can get access to cleanly remove it.
Special Attention to CU-Win!!! Unless I hear differently, I do not plan to do anything with the node. I will leave the power supply in place inside and the node up on the roof. I can assist someone in retrieving this stuff, but it has to be done by Tuesday evening. Let me know if you have a concern, otherwise I intend to abandon the node in place for the time being and let the landlords know that you may still want to retrieve it later. |
