I visited the test site for Monday's exam to check parking, etc. and was shocked. The building where the LSAT is to be administered is right in the middle of a full-blown active construction zone! They are erecting a multistory building immediately adjacent to the test building, complete with construction fences, TWO full-size cranes, bulldozers, dump trucks, back hoes, an army of hard-hatted workers, you name it!
Do you think LSAC can/will restrain the construction? Move the site? Or am I just to suck it up? Since I am applying for fall 2014 admission, I don't have the option to postpone.

Only thing you can do about it is send LSAC an email IMMEDIATELY notifying them of what you described and your concerns about the possibility of being subject to non-standard/unusually harsh testing conditions. I would do this if I were you. It might not make any difference, but then again it might. I would think that LSAC would like to avoid getting a flood of test center complaint emails if they can avoid it. Notify them now so they have time to look into it. Since the test is Monday, I'm sure there is some LSAC staff working at the office over the weekend to carry out the administration and deal with last minute issues/problems.

Thanks. That said, I don't know if I would prefer the potentially distracting test site adjacent to the construction work or a different building that I need to locate on test day. Either way I think I'll arrive on campus earlier than I had planned....
