School of Art Heat Relief Plans
New cooling technologies are currently being implemented in our Fine Arts buildings. Anytime there is concern that high heat conditions will be experienced in the Fine Arts Buildings, this page will provide information on heat mitigation strategies.
This page will update by 6am daily during high heat periods, and may update throughout the days when internal temperatures necessitate a change.
Temperature Range Key
