In Weedon, temperatures in dorm rooms are still between 77 and 79 degrees.

Facilities has no adequate response to this situation. This is the response that I received from HRL

“Hereford/JMW is one of several on Grounds communities that have a 2-pipe HVAC system. This configuration allows only chilled or heated water to circulate at any given time, meaning HRL/FM does not have the ability to quickly switch between heating and cooling in these buildings. To shift from cooling to heating and vice versa requires several days. Because of this, HRL works closely with Facilities Management in monitoring the weather forecasts to determine the most appropriate time to make the transition from cooling to heating. We look for a 4 to 5 day stretch with low temperatures in the 40s and monitoring work order submission for heating requests. This determination was made this year on October 12th, at which time we stopped circulating chilled water in the buildings. On October 16th, hot water began circulating and we were actively heating the buildings. In preparation for last week’s heat wave, all 2-pipe systems ceased the circulation of hot water on Tuesday, 10/24th. During this swing season it is very difficult to determine the appropriate time to shift from cooling to heating in these buildings as the forecasts can change quickly and very drastically, which is what happened last week. The cold front that is moving in starting this evening will bring reprieve to the interior building temperatures and we will continue to monitor work order submission and the forecast to determine when the appropriate time is to start circulating hot water through the buildings HVAC systems again.”

The University's response on this situation makes no sense as dorms are currently at temperatures significantly above even daily highs. It's cold outside. You have to heat buildings to make them hotter than outside. They are actively deciding to heat buildings to these temperatures.

I honestly do not know what to do at this point. All I want is to not wake up drenched in sweat. It is not my intention to represent a class in this issue, but more coercive legal means may be required to get the University to act.
