FROM:  Service Response Center

SUBJECT: Freezing Temps Return This Week (Tonight!)

Freezing temperatures will return tonight as the weather is expected to drop to 22 degrees starting tonight and continuing until Saturday.  As the campus settles into finals and the campus community begins to make departure preparations for winter break, please take precaution and ensure you are protecting your spaces by closing and locking ALL windows. 

Additional preparations as you begin to prepare for winter break include shutting down any equipment if feasible, covering any high value equipment, unplugging small appliances, and checking for any minor leaks in kitchen areas, drinking fountains or restrooms.

We ask that particular attention be made to open windows in buildings such as CFA, TCS, Gates, Mellon Institute, MMCH, Doherty, HOA and Baker/Porter.

FMS crews will be on site during tonight making rounds to check spaces.  If you see or notice anything of concern, please contact the FMCS Service Response Center at 412-268-2910.  Thanks for your partnership.
