SUBJECT: Freezing Temps Over Thanksgiving Break – Help Protect Your Spaces

As folks head into the Thanksgiving Break, please keep in mind that we will experience temperatures below freezing this weekend.  This will be the first hard freeze of the winter, and it is occurring during a time of low occupancy on campus.  

Please help FMS protect your spaces by closing and locking ALL windows, preparing your office and academic spaces for break, and shutting down any equipment if feasible.

 

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 and throughout the holiday break.  If you see or notice anything of concern, please contact the FMCS Service Response Center at 412-268-2910.  Thanks for your partnership as we head into the winter months.
