Plimpton Fire Extinguisher Checks (Thur, Sept 10)

Residents of Plimpton: Please be advised that the Barnard Facilities department will be conducting a check of all fire extinguishers in Plimpton on Thursday, September 10 during the day (each suite has a fire extinguisher in the kitchen).

Cleaning of Sulzberger, Elliott, and Plimpton heaters over Winter Break

Facilities Services will be checking and cleaning the heating/cooling units in Sulzberger, Sulz Tower, Elliott, and Plimpton over the winter break (December 20th, 2008 to January 20th, 2009).

Whether you intend to be here or not, you MUST remove all belongings and/or furniture that may restrict or block access to your heating/cooling unit prior to 5pm on December 20th. We ask that you make every effort to keep this area clear for the duration of the break or until a Facilities staff member services your unit.

To expedite this process, our Facilities staff will be working on this project during both day and night. Therefore, rooms that are NOT on Residential Life & Housing’s approved list for Winter Break may be entered in the middle of the night. If you have any questions, please feel free to email housing@barnard.edu.

Reminder:  Students must request and receive permission to stay in the residence halls over Winter Break.  More information is available at http://barnard.edu/reslife/winterbreak/.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation and consideration and wish you a happy holiday season!
