Facilities Update – Installation of Fiber Optic Cabling – Main Campus – Commencing Monday, March 10
We wish to advise that Sentrex Communication Inc. of North York plans to start work on the installation of fiber optic cabling at Brock’s Main Campus, St. Catharines, on Monday, March 10. The work has been scheduled for 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily and will be continuous to completion, expected to be late-April, weather permitting. The first phase of the install will primarily take place outdoors along Brock’s east property boundary as well as at the intersection of Sir Isaac Brock Way/Glenridge Avenue/Merrittville Highway. We do not anticipate any disruption in traffic flow (vehicle and/or pedestrian) to/from campus as a result of this work. The second phase will involve bringing the fiber cable into Res 8 (Level 100) and through the service tunnel to the Comm Room at Inniskillin Hall (IH108).
If you have any questions, please contact John Rizzo, Snr Project Manager.

Switching Over the Campus’ Systems from Heating to Cooling
Facilities Management trade staff will be switching over the Campus’ systems from heating to cooling over the course of the next couple of weeks.
Preparations are being made to the Main Campus cooling system at the central plant for summer operation. Many buildings are not designed to cool and heat simultaneously. As we experience the typical summer temperature fluctuations, some areas on Main Campus may experience cooler OR warmer than normal temperatures during regular office hours.
Facilities Management staff will continue to make the Main Campus as comfortable as possible. If your area experiences any issues, please avoid making radical adjustments to the thermostats as this may have an adverse affect in your room and other adjacent areas.
If your area is experiencing any extreme or ongoing temperature issues, please email Facilities Management Customer Service at [email protected] or call x3717.
