Chafee Relocation

We're back.  The Department's traveling road show is finally over - or at least mostly over.  As you will recall, in January 2001 the Department returned from intercession to find Chafee had been closed and the Department had to leave the penthouse suites that had called home since Rick Sabatino orchestrated the move in the 1970s.  We had to vacate the space and our fearless leaders, Yngve Ramstad and Linda Gray, led an exodus of most of the faculty to Ballentine Hall that the College of Business had recently "evacuated."  Art Mead ended up in the basement of Carlotti where his 8th floor panoramic view of South County was replaced by a clear-story, while John Burkett ended up in Ranger Hall and Ric McIntyre found refuge in the Honors Department in Lippit Hall. It turned out to be only a short stay in Ballentine, however, and by that summer the refugees in the library were on the move again. This this time it off to the second floor of the Library into little cubicles that made those Chafee offices look spacious.  Fortunately, the journey is now over.  In the summer of 2002 Chafee reopened and the Department moved home and reoccupied those penthouse suites.
