Of what they have seen already in their halls--new methods of soup preparation and ceramic dishware--they're not impressed.
Extra lifting and back pains don't equal improvement to them, they say.
But Alixandra E. McNitt, assistant director for marketing and communications for HUDS, says the directors will work closely with the staff for feedback, like they have done with the completed halls.
"[Eliot and Kirkland staff] all know inherently there is a burden on them. They are the guinea pigs," she says.
She calls the renovations an on-going process.
"We need to go back to Eliot and Kirkland and find out what things work and don't work," McNitt says. "We're going back to the staff now that things have leveled out."
