Rieber Hall Construction - problem at all?

<p>I understand that beginning August 2008, Rieber Hall will be renovated from the second to seventh floor. A UCLA page informs me that the surrounding area may "possibly" be impacted by the construction.</p>

<p>The page stated that "possible impacts to the surrounding community (including the Rieber first floor services) may include noise, dust and detours to pedestrian access."<br>
^this is on Rieber</a> Hall</p>

<p>From your own notion, experience, or understanding of what entails such a situation, is the construction likely to become annoying? I mean - i'm definitely not an expert here - but may there be some drilling and loud machinery (or even something less "impacting") operating here that can be a real annoyance on students, especially at Rieber Terrace and Rieber Vista? The thing is, I have been assigned to Hedrick Summit, and I was initially thinking about requesting the same sort of arrangement (single room w/shared bath) only switched to the Rieber Terrace or the Rieber Vista buildings (mostly because of the less distance from classes). However, the prospect of this construction has sort of dissuaded me from moving into this general area - but if the construction is not a problem, I may pursue a housing reassignment to one of those two resident buildings .</p>

<p>summit's perfectly fine. and a hell of a lot quieter even without the construction.</p>

<p>Ah, it's just extra exercise. Think about it: you'll have better legs than a lot of the other RV/RT students.</p>

<p>it's litearlly an extra 3 minutes. hey at least you're not living in hitch. summit's going to be great. vista and terrace may be hearing construction. good luck to them !</p>

<p>i don't think it'll be a big deal in terrace...maybe in vista if your room is right across from rieber hall, but otherwise no.</p>

<p>I don't really think it'll be that big of deal where-ever you are. I was living in Rieber hall while they were doing the rennovation of the first floor and it didn't really bother me. Occasionally the construction was kinda loud but, for the most part they were working when I was in class (late morning/early afternoon; not too much on weekends)... I think you'll be fine being a building or two away...</p>
