UPDATE:
The seasonal transition from steam to chilled water has been completed.
Reminder About Seasonal Building Steam Management
As the warmer weather arrives, CPFM Facilities Services will again implement its process for systematically deactivating the heat within steam-controlled buildings.
These locations include the following:
- Agate Hall (gym/auditorium)
- Cascade Annex
- Collier House
- Columbia Hall (Room 154)
- Condon Hall
- CPFM Buildings
- Esslinger Hall
- Fine Arts Studios
- Friendly Hall
- Frohnmayer Music (radiators only)
- Gerlinger Hall
- Hendricks Hall
- Lawrence (primary studios)
- Lokey Education (East and West)
- McArthur Court (radiators only)
- Millrace Woodshop
- Onyx Bridge (072/090, 169/170)
- Susan Campbell
- University Hall
- Villard Hall
- Volcanology Hall
Because turning off the system is an involved and lengthy process, Facilities Services has established the
following methodology regulating when technicians will deactivate the steam for the warmer season:
As Spring temperatures become warmer, we systematically turn off the steam when outside nighttime
air temperature is above 50 degrees for five (5) consecutive nights AND daytime air temperature is
above 70 degrees for five (5) consecutive days.
Since Spring temperatures may vary widely from day to day, building occupants can expect inside
temperatures to fluctuate until outside conditions meet the above criteria, and technicians can deactivate
the steam.
Current construction and impacts information can be found on the UO Maps site.
