OHIO Facilities Management continuing to monitor weather-related temperature changes in buildings

Housing and Residence Life (HRL) and Facilities Management (FM) teams have recently received a number of reports related to warmer temperatures in some residence halls and campus buildings. This is a common occurrence during early spring, when outdoor temperatures can fluctuate significantly within a short period of time.

During this seasonal period, both FM and HRL crews will continue to monitor residence hall and campus facilities temperatures to ensure comfortability on campus. Additionally, they will continue to share information that provides tips and best practices for maintaining a comfortable temperature in rooms and includes instructions for contacting HRL and/or FM for help with addressing any concerns.

A few helpful tips to consider during these seasonal temperature changes include dressing in layers, opening windows when possible, using fans if available and staying hydrated.

Crews began activating cooling systems across campus on Monday, and most buildings are in the process of being adjusted for seasonal conditions. We are actively addressing issues that have temporarily delayed cooling within an isolated number of facilities.

If you believe your heating or cooling unit is not functioning properly, please submit a work order through Facilities Management’s work order system so our teams can respond as quickly as possible.
