The building is still on schedule thanks to the forsight of the contractor who "anticipated tough conditions in January and February, so the expectations for work output were reduced and will pick up after March," commented Bernard Carpenter, treasurer and vice president for financial affairs.

The story of the building, however, is not a complete fairy tale of timing. Time was lost in steel erection due to the weather, but Carpenter anticipates that that area of the building should be back on track by the month's end.

Hedge residents agree that the building's noise, which once caused much disruption to their daily lives, is barely noticeable anymore. "I'm definitely immune to it," said Katherine Saegh, a first year resident of Hedge. "I've become basically used to the noise," commented Carrie Noel, another first year Hedgie.

As for the festive decoration crowning the framework of the building, it was placed by the contractors themselves. Commented Carpenter, "it's just one of those things they do, at any site."
