During remodellings this summer, we found out that the basement of Foy, where our Music studio, Theatre practice room and art studios have been implanted, used to be called "The Pit" when the basement was a Rathskeller. New nickname?
Foy 105, our Music Room, has undergone an "improvement" for the sake of acoustics: the removal of the moldy carpet and 6 layers of subflooring. Now the floor is the exposed cement block, with a few places of excess paste and tiles. I wrote "RAW" at the entrance door, so people will know that we are in the process... The floor will be finished when funds are available.
Our hero for this project is John Cozzy, lead maintenance man at Foy, who single-handedly got out all the dust and detritus left by the floor removal. Thank him if you're not breathing cement fumes! And thank him for his over 30 years of service to Siena.
A projection TV (discard from dorms) is now in place in Foy 107, The Actor's Studio, for the benefit especially of Acting for the Camera classes.
Professor Liz Blum spent a week cleaning up the Art and Design rooms. Thanks, Liz.
There are still things to be finished, but we have come quite a way in upgrading The Pit.
