This fall, construction will begin on an interior renovation project to upgrade the life-safety systems and renovate select areas within Kline Geology Laboratory (KGL). On August 5, the project team held a town hall meeting to review the scope and schedule of the project as well as the site logistics of the KGL and upcoming Peabody Museum renovation. To learn more about the project, and anticipated impacts to pedestrian access, see the meeting slides below.
