Transition from Cooling to Heating
Please note: We’ve received the following email explaining the temperature variances some of you may be experiencing.
Physical Facilities Maintenance Personnel are in the process of transitioning our systems from Summer Cooling to Winter Heating. This changeover process includes: turning off the chillers, winterizing cooling coils, and adjusting the thermostats from 74 degrees to 68 degrees. During this transition our customers may experience some variance in building temperatures, however, Physical Facilities Personnel will make every effort to expedite this process in order to minimize any inconvenience. The changeover is estimated to be completed prior to November 11th.
