Dealing with Construction

Although we try to maintain a quiet study space in the Reading Room, what happens outside is beyond our control. Most notably, Berklee's new 16-story building is going up right across the street. We do have a great view of the sometimes fascinating construction activities, so feel free to grab a seat near a window to take it all in. On the other hand, we always have a bowl of earplugs to help you ignore the inevitable noise, which usually wraps up in the late afternoon.

In that spirit, here's a thematic playlist. What your favorite song or album about construction?

• Talking Heads, More Songs About Buildings and Food [CD 18233]
