| 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/air conditioning system is provided
by fan coil units located under each window. There is a little
door on the unit that you push open to access the fan controls.
In addition, some units have a thermostat knob which needs to
be switched from air conditioning to heat.
Please note that once the entire building is converted from
air conditioning to heat, and vice versa, the fan coil unit
will only provide heat when the thermostat is set at heat;
otherwise, it will simply circulate the air in the room.
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.
