Facts from head of maintenance Tom Wille:
*Average temperature in the school is 72 degrees. *By law, the air, which is computer controlled, never stops because no windows in the building can be opened. *“We keep it comfortable but cool enough to keep students awake and also conserve energy,” Tom Wille said.
“I have three fleeces and I wear one every day. I think Xavier should get gray fleeces because when I wear navy pants, I either have to be cold without a fleece or look funny with navy on navy.” - Melanie Wertzberger ‘15
