Clephan 00.16 CLOSED Nov 7-8

The good news: a new air conditioning system is being installed to replace the malfunctioning units in Clephan 00.16!  However, that will mean that Clephan 00.16 will be unavailable for our use Nov 7-8. Remember that you can use our other Clephan studios or facilities in Queens, such as the labs Q1.32 and Q1.33 and the sound booths, if you need audio workstations during those days.  [BB 29/10]
