  • Facilities Update: Planned Construction Work – Welch Hall

    Thursday, February 26, 2026 | By

    Please be advised of planned construction work starting in Welch Hall:

    Beginning:    Monday, March 2
    Duration:    Anticipated 5 months
    Location:    Welch Hall 222 (IRC)

    Purpose:     Classroom Modernization

    Project work is beginning for modernization of WH222 – starting in March and anticipated to continue through July 2026. Work will primarily be within the WH222 space, however there will be increased activity in the 200 Level corridor and 211B (North) stairwell in March while the location is being cleared.

    While every effort will be made to reduce impacts on surrounding spaces, there will be some localized noise and increased activity anticipated. Hoarding in the corridors will be placed at the entry ways to keep construction activities separate and secure. Safe fire exiting and accessibility through the corridor will be maintained throughout unless otherwise notified.

    Life safety, elevator access, and corridors circulation will remain available and unaffected.

    If you have questions or require further clarification, please contact Facilities Management at x3717 or Alita Jones at [email protected].

  • Switching Over the Campus’ Systems from Heating to Cooling

    Wednesday, May 14, 2025 | By

    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.
