Spring shoulder season

Fri, 04/04/2025 - 11:41

We are entering the “spring shoulder season” from early April to May, the time of the year where we switch from heating our buildings to cooling them. During this transition, your workspace or study space may become warm when the outdoor temperature rises or feel cool if temperatures drop in the coming weeks. We also want to inform all building directors that this preparation prioritizes preventative maintenance activities related to upcoming shoulder season, therefore it may lead to longer completion timelines for some of the work you request.
