| ELECTRONIC SECURITY
|
|
Your building is equipped with an electronic security system
which consists of card readers and prop monitors.� Cards readers
read the magnetic stripe on your student identification card
to grant access to residents, staff, and authorized others.�
Prop monitors sense whether exterior doors and interior security
doors are closed and latched securely, and sound horns to
notify residents and staff if they are not.� In most cases,
closing the door will silence the horn.� Some special application
locks and horns must be reset by a staff member.

| HEAT |
| The heating system is convector steam heat. Each
room has a convector-type radiator in which steam circulates
between your room and the mechanical room. When the heat initially
comes on, you may hear a knocking/hammering sound. This is typical
of a steam heating system. If this sound persists for more than
a few minutes, call x4WORK to request that your radiator be
checked.
The number one problem encountered during the heating season
is when residents block the radiator with a bed or a large
piece of furniture. This blocks the air flow to the unit and
prevents proper operation. Consider this when you arrange
your room.
