School of Art Heat Relief Plans

New cooling technologies are to be implemented in our Fine Arts buildings, but these projects aren’t expected to be complete until next December. In the meantime, here are ways we are working to ensure a reasonable working environment for the School of Art community.

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

Green – Classroom Temperatures are measured at 78 degrees +/- 2 degrees. (In order to meet California State Sustainability Targets, this is the new CSU standard temperature setting for classroom and office temperatures.)

• Green Status means all classroom activities follow normal operational procedures

Yellow – Classroom temperatures are measured between 81 and 86 degrees.

• Yellow Status prompts the following actions
  • opening and availability of cooling spaces:
    • FA4-311, FA2-202, UT-108, Student Art Gallery Courtyard
    • Ice water and cool and/or frozen drinks available in the Gallery Courtyard

Red – Classroom temperatures are measured at or above 87 degrees.

• Red Status prompts the following actions
  • Classes occupying impacted classrooms will move to alternate spaces or to Zoom
  • Classes may be cancelled if the temperature change is sudden or deemed dangerous
  • Faculty alert their impacted classes as to the location and mode of instruction for class
  • Students check emails and/or Canvas to make sure they have the latest information
