Work details
The areas selected for the partial shutdown are generally offices and teaching spaces. Rooms with air conditioning which is normally set to run 24/7 are exempt from holiday scheduling and will continue to run normally. Teaching rooms managed through Syllabus Plus will also be unaffected by the partial shutdown.
If you plan to come to work on any day between Friday 25 December 2020 and Monday 4 January 2021, then please familiarise yourself beforehand with the location of the after-hours buttons for your work area. If an office or teaching space has an after-hours button then, where possible, the air conditioning has been scheduled off during the Christmas/New Year period, but you can turn it on for successive 2 hour periods by pressing the button.
