The campus will assure filters are changed regularly, are properly installed and not damaged. There may be areas on the campus that may be warmer or colder than usual as a result of these changes. Individuals are asked to accept these minor inconveniences and dress appropriately, so that the whole community can benefit from these ventilation changes.
