This notice just sent around from Edward Mullens:
From the Physical Plant:
Construction on the new science complex during winter break (March 1-5) will impact cooling units in Halle Library. Temperatures inside the library may become warmer than normal, possibly as high as 85 degrees. People using the building may want to dress in layers. Halle Library has reduced hours for winter break — check the library website for details http://www.emich.edu/library/about/hours.php or call 487-0020, ext. 2100.
Good Lord, 85 degrees inside while it’s 20 degrees outside? Watch for sudden thunderstorms developing around the entrance of the building! And going from Michigan winter to Michigan August is a lot of layers. Hopefully, this will just last for the winter break.
Why are cooling units even needed right now?
I wonder if the grad library at the U of M is still heat sink? I wonder if the physical plant meant to say air exchangers?
