Each spring, campus personnel must decide when to begin cooling campus buildings. Unlike heating systems, air conditioning systems cannot be turned on and off on a daily or weekly basis. The initiation of campus cooling systems is a temperature-dependent activity performed when nighttime low temperatures are consistently predicted to be 50 degrees or higher.

Additionally, the New York State Department of Health requires that all cooling systems be inspected by an accredited external inspector before activation. Your patience is appreciated as we await warmer overnight forecasts and carry out the important inspection phase. Questions about air conditioning can be directed to Facilities Operations at 878-6111.
