As the weather transitions to cooler temperatures, it's time to prepare for the heating season. With our heating systems coming back into operation after a long break, we want to ensure everyone stays comfortable and safe on campus. While we discourage the use of personal space heaters on campus to prevent circuit overloads, we understand that some areas may experience cooler temperatures.
