The following message is from Larry Wakefield, Interim Vice President for Administration and Finance:
As a reminder, as part of our Summer Utilities Savings Program, most Ä¢¹½tv Indiana campus offices and buildings, including the Ä¢¹½tv Libraries, will be closed to the public Monday, June 30, through Friday, July 4.
Please note that this does not impact the Ä¢¹½tv regional campus buildings and operations at Punxsutawney, Northpointe, and Pittsburgh East, which will continue regular hours of instruction and operations.
On Friday, July 4, most Ä¢¹½tv offices will be closed for the July 4 holiday (see exceptions below).
From June 30 to July 4, employees at the Indiana campus will be working remotely, as appropriate, and services offered by these offices will be available remotely. These buildings will be locked, and additional utility setbacks will take place in buildings that will be closed to the public during this time period, to achieve additional utility savings as part of the plan. Operations will still take place but remotely and employees will ensure that services are available.
In the case of an emergency requiring access to closed buildings during this time period, contact University Police at 724-357-2141.
Employees with work duties that require physically working on-site, including on Fridays and during the week of June 30 to July 4, will continue to do so.
These employees include police officers, housing staff, facilities staff, and others, as directed by their supervisors.
On-campus offices remaining physically open to the public on Fridays and from June 30 to July 4 during the Summer Utility Savings Program include:
- Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex
- Athletics administration (Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex)
- Central Stores (Robertshaw)
- Facilities Planning and Construction (Robertshaw)
- Facilities Maintenance and Operations (Robertshaw)
- Housing and Dining (Ruddock Hall and North Dining Hall)
- Office of Public Safety/University Police, open on a 24-hour basis (Robertshaw)
- Postal Services (Folger Hall)
- S.W. Jack Cogeneration Plant, open on a 24-hour basis
The principle of not disrupting instruction during the Summer Utilities Savings Program continues to be followed, so any buildings hosting scheduled classes and select pre-approved events (as reserved through 25Live), will remain open and without utility setbacks. (This includes buildings that have been identified as part of the Summer Savings Plan as requiring climate control, e.g., those housing live animals, fragile textiles, or equipment.)
Signage will be posted at all entrances to buildings being closed, along with information on how the public can contact departments within the building during this time period.
The 2024 Summer Utilities Saving Program continues through Friday, August 15.
