Hammer time needs to stop immediately

My classes lately have been filled with the wonderful sounds of hammers hammering, drills drilling and teachers trying to teach.
It seems to me the statement of the college, "Learning comes first at JCCC" has been lost in the shuffle of construction.
Is it necessary to renovate and rebuild all these classrooms during peak instruction hours. How much more would it cost to allow these construction companies to work on nights and weekends?
But no, we can't do that. So I am left with hyperextending my ear drums to hear what my professor is saying.
Perhaps I can find temporary solace inside the walls of the Regnier Center, where nary a construction worker, drill nor hammer is found. Perhaps I should persuade my professor to have our classes inside the Shull Foyer, that way we would only have to drown out the sounds of Cafe Tempo and Nerman patrons.
One thing is clear to me, learning apparantly does not come first at this college.
