On Thursday, November 15th from 5:00p until Friday, November 16th at 7:00a, the HVAC system for the CPFM Administration Building will be temporarily deactivated. The 2nd floor renovation of the offices of Campus Planning will necessitate the use of an airless sprayer overnight between November 15th and 16th, and as a precaution the heating and ventilation system will be shut down to ensure that the air scrubbers and negative-air filtration system capture all excess particulates. As a result, building users may experience lower than normal temperatures upon entry into the building the morning of Friday, November 16th until the HVAC system is able to return the space to its normal occupancy temperature range. There may also be a residual aroma of the Zero VOC latex paint, but it should dissipate quickly. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Design & Construction Project Manager Theo Davis at 541-346-1012.
