Update on Low Temperatures in Classrooms

2/2/2022

Dear Members, 

Over the past few days, some of you have contacted us about cold classrooms and offices.   In response we reached out to Human Resources informing them of your 55-degree classrooms and offices. 

Their reply stated that Facilities is aware of heat issues in some areas and has fixed or working to fix the issues in our almost fifty-year-old buildings.    

To make sure Facilities is aware of heat issues, please contact them at Facilities Service Response (Facilities@umb.edu) with the room number and if possible, the room temperature (yes, there is an app for room temperature).

We will continue to make sure work conditions include proper heat levels.  

Sincerely,

Steve Striffler                                     Caroline Coscia
