[ED-TECH] Memorial Classrooms are COLD!

Ed-Tech list members,


Be warned: if you have a final exam or a review session or something in a classroom in the Memorial Building, there is NO HEAT. You may want to bring a jacket or sweater. You may want to warn your students to bring a jacket or a sweater.

As I understand it, there is no heating unit in Memorial. The building was designed to stay cool in the summer, so it may feel cooler than other buildings on campus that don't have heating units.. Hope this information helps.
