During the break (23 December 2023 to 1 January 2024) air-conditioning will be scheduled to function as it would on a Sunday. After hours operation (if available) will not be affected. Please contact the fm-service-centre@uow.edu.au before 15 December (at the latest) if you have any special needs.

Switch off before you take off
Shut down and switch off what you can over the break and help save unnecessary energy use at UOW. Refer to information and tips on what you can switch off and use an "I'm off for Christmas" poster on any shared items that you switch off, so staff know when they return that the item has been deliberately switched off over the Christmas break. Download the I'm off for Christmas poster (PDF) or request a copy from the Environment Unit.
The Facilities Management Division wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and fabulous New Year.
