<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
A large part of both Thursday and Friday were
spent interviewing architect firms who had submitted proposals
to design our new Geochemistry Building. This was an excellent
process completed earlier today in cooperation with colleagues
from CU Facilities. Our recommendations will go forward to
University leadership downtown and I hope that a final selection
will be made in a small number of weeks. We were privileged
to meet with some of the best laboratory designers and engineers
in the nation - a very educational couple of days.
Next Tuesday I will spend in Chicago with LDEO
Development Director Sarah Huard, talking to foundations about
our need for increased non-Federal resources - thank you to
all who have helped me with graphics and substance to use
in these talks. Although it is substantial work putting these
Observatory-wide presentations together, it is also very satisfying
to appreciate, yet again, the breadth, quality and significance
of the research that is carried out here.
I know folks have expressed concern about visibility
from the newly designed 9W front entrance (still under construction
by our hard-working colleagues from the State of New Jersey)
- rest assured that this is not the final configuration -
when it is completed we will make sure that the goal of substantially
increasing safety for cars entering from, and exiting to,
9W is significantly improved.
Please take note of the memorandum below, sent
out to the leadership of the Campus last week - a necessary
decision to solve a pesky problem I fear.
Have a great weekend,
– Mike

MEMORANDUM
Re: Use of Lamont Shipping Dept. for Personal
Transactions
From: G. M. Purdy
To: LDEO community
It has been a long standing tradition that the
Lamont Shipping Department would accept and process personal
items for shipping. Unfortunately there has been a consistent
record of difficulty in receiving appropriate reimbursement
for these treansactions that is the cause of wasted time and
effort on the part of the campus' administrative staff.
Therefore, effective immidiately I have instructed
the Shipping Department not to accept personal items for shipping.
