As part of Prince­ton University’s ongo­ing goal of expand­ing build­ing acces­si­bil­ity, Mudd’s wheel­chair ramp is sched­uled to be upgraded start­ing on Mon­day, July 13, 2009.

This project is expected to take four weeks to com­plete. The first part of the con­struc­tion involves the removal of the old ramp, which is expected to last three to four days. The ini­tial removal work will involve jack­ham­mers, which of course are very noisy. Please note that the ramp is imme­di­ately adja­cent to Mudd’s read­ing room and the jack­ham­mer­ing will cer­tainly be notice­able from within the read­ing room. Dur­ing this time, Mudd staff will pro­vide ear plugs for any patrons upon request.

Dur­ing the con­struc­tion period, any patrons who require an access ramp should enter Sher­rerd Hall, adja­cent to Mudd, and then exit through its east door, through which access to Mudd’s front door is possible.

If you have any ques­tions about the con­struc­tion or Mudd’s acces­si­bil­ity, please feel free to con­tact us at 609–258-6345 or mudd@princeton.edu.
