F&S Construction and Maintenance Announcements
Use of Personal Space Heaters
Our buildings’ heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are designed to maintain temperatures within OSHA-compliant settings to ensure safety, comfort, and productivity. Personal space heaters disrupt these systems by causing elevated temperatures that can shut off heat locally and in adjacent areas. Additionally, space heaters can overload electrical circuits, leading to tripped breakers, potential fire hazards, and costly system damage—all of which impact you and your neighbors. For these reasons, the use of personal space heaters in university buildings is prohibited. Please remove your personal space heater from campus.
Please note that our aging HVAC systems may take extra time to adjust during large temperature swings, especially in the mornings or during extreme winter conditions. We encourage dressing appropriately and layering clothing to stay comfortable. A lap blanket can also add warmth.
If the temperature in your area falls below 65°F or rises above 76°F, please submit a work order for our technicians to investigate.
As always, your continued support and patience is appreciated as we work to maintain campus facilities.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Facilities and Services at 217-206-6530 or facilities@uis.edu.
