-·	Concerning, our lab is located in the second floor of Harvill. Recent informal communications have suggested that the only elevator to the entire building will be out for maintenance for at least one semester in Spring 2025. Classes are expected to be scheduled in other buildings across campus. We will potentially experience accessibility-related limitations as part of these alterations...
