Facilities Services
Air Conditioning – Changeover From Heating
Department of Facilities Services personnel perform required changeover from heating to air conditioning in the spring. Because of the equipment installed throughout the campus, buildings must be changed over separately. Facilities Services performs the changeover on the basis of priorities established to (1) maintain required temperatures to protect equipment and research in progress, and (2) serve the greatest number of individuals and activities. Changeover is based on weather predictions. The wide swings in temperature during the spring of the year have made this policy necessary. Special problems or hardships with this policy should be discussed with the Associate Vice Chancellor of Facilities Services (208 Facilities Services Building, 974-2178).
