A room with a view? Heidi Adams (Food Services) says she missed looking through windows after construction workers put up a temporary wall to block dust from an ongoing project. So she painted her own window, complete with Sun, clouds, and curtains. “They can’t take away my views,” she jokes. The refurbishment, which will take several months, will create a new dishwashing room, expand the working space for the cafeteria staff, and improve traffic flow for those entering and leaving the cafeteria. By that time, Heidi will be gone: she’s accepted an administrative job with a construction company—and, yes, her new office will have a window.
