The project to replace the campus chiller is progressing on schedule; however, this means we will be without cooling in Menard, Sangamon, Cass and Millennium for the remainder of the week. With temperatures anticipated to again be in the low to mid 80s today and upper 80s on Thursday, rented fans will be used in a number of areas. Please check with your supervisor with any questions about attire on Thursday. Thank you for your patience.
