deFrancesco Hall AC Shut Down: Starting today the AC in deFrancesco will be shut down at 5 a.m. in order to make emergency repairs. The AC will be down until noon (building should hold temperatures). Once repairs are completed the AC will be turned back on in the building. Five rooms will not have AC until repairs are made to each individual unit (Rooms 101, 103, 106A, 114 and 115). It is estimated that 2 rooms per day will have AC restored until all rooms are completed.
