With the colors past peak, we know cool weather won’t be far behind. FM has begun transitioning buildings from cooling to heating season – a process that takes several weeks. We will be posting daily updates to FM District transition plans at the following links:

• East Bank District (PDF)
• Health Sciences District (PDF)
• St. Paul-West District (PDF)

Unlike your home the U’s conversion process isn’t as simple as flipping a switch to turn on the furnace and turn off the air conditioner. The process is complex, and depending on the building can require putting antifreeze in the pipes and draining cooling towers. We are staging our efforts and working with an eye towards the weather (once a building is converted, it won’t have cooling until next spring).

Despite our best efforts, some spaces may experience uncomfortable temperatures for a limited time. Our goal is to minimize this exposure. If you feel the temperature in your space is either too high or low, please contact the FM Call Center at 4-2900.
