With winter temperatures now dipping low on the thermometer, the campus community is reminded that Facility Services staff has completed the semi-annual system switch from summer air conditioning to cold-weather heating.

Susan Mark, executive director of Facility Services, says maintenance staff spent several weeks preparing equipment at the Energy Conversion Centre, the Central Refrigeration Plant and buildings across campus, and now that the change is in place there is no going back until spring.

Samantha Allen likes to get her picture taken. The kinesiology student says that’s why she plans to come out today for a mass group photo celebrating the University’s takeover of the former Windsor Star buildings.

“I think it will be fun,” she says.

Students and alumni, faculty and staff, and community members will gather at noon Friday, November 30, in front of the buildings at the corner of Pitt and Ferry streets in downtown Windsor, as UWindsor president Alan Wildeman accepts the keys to the property from Star publisher Marty Beneteau.

The Lancer women’s hockey team will undergo a location change for its December 1 game against the Queen’s Gaels.

The game will be played at Tecumseh Arena, 12021 McNorton Street in the town of Tecumseh, due to a scheduling conflict at the Lancers’ usual South Windsor Arena.

After losing 3-2 on Saturday to Laurier and 2-1 against Waterloo on Sunday afternoon, the Lancers boast a 9-5-2 record, good for fifth place in Ontario University Athletics.
