On Friday, June 23, 2017 from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., the air conditioning system to O’Connor and Ho Science Center will be limited. During this time frame, the outside air temperature is predicted to be in the High 60s to low 70s, and the reduced capacity should not cause any discomfort to the areas. The reason for the limited capacity is to make emergent repairs to the New Residence Hall’s chilled water supply piping.

If you have any questions, please contact Facilities Department at 315-228-7130.

Respectfully,

As warm weather makes its entrance, the installation of window air conditioning units is scheduled to begin. As in past years, installation will take place the weeks prior to reunion weekend. Facilities staff will initiate the process at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 23, and will be complete by approximately Friday, May 26.

All windows must be cleared of any items prior to installation. Please remember that when your office or room is not in use, these units should be turned off. Please do your part and save energy by not setting these units any lower than 76 degrees, Colgate University’s cooling standard.

We apologize for any temporary inconvenience during the short installation process. Thank you for your patience and enjoy the beginning of spring.

Any questions or concerns, please contact Dan McCoach, architectural trades manager, at 315-228-6046 or dmccoach@colgate.edu.
