During freezing weather, students should open cabinet doors under sinks to help warm air reach plumbing and keep exterior doors and windows closed to maintain heat.
Any heating or maintenance concerns should be reported right away by submitting a work order and calling Physical Plant during the work week. During evenings or weekends, RDs should contact the appropriate on-call staff.
During extreme weather, Physical Plant will have a team of technicians on site to assist, actively walking buildings and prioritizing work orders related to HVAC, windows, and doors.
Timely reporting helps us respond as quickly and effectively as possible, and students experiencing heater issues are encouraged to submit work orders early rather than waiting until later.
