The University will close at the end of the day on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 and will open on Monday, January 4, 2010. The mid-year break will be shorter this year because of the need to accommodate various processes around grade reporting. While the winter break is shorter than we would like, we have added an extra day on Friday, July 31, 2009 which, taken in conjunction with the Civic Holiday on August 3, 2009, gives us an extra long weekend.
The holiday period provides an opportunity for a number of necessary maintenance tasks requiring significant power outages to be performed. These outages, combined with the University's energy conservation program, mean the heating and ventilation systems will be operating at minimal levels that will result in very cool temperatures and thus will not be well suited for prolonged work.
If there is a need to enter a building during the University closure period, access control will be consistent with holiday closures. [Faculty/staff One Cards are already programmed for holiday access; students must contact their Chair to obtain holiday access.] Please contact Security at 5040 if you wish to enter alarmed areas so that system schedules can be adjusted accordingly.
