Stay well hydrated and avoid extended time in the sun. In general, the lower floors of campus buildings, especially those below ground, will be cooler. On the Bellingham campus, a few buildings have air conditioning including Haggard Hall, the new Interdisciplinary Science Building, and the VU Multipurpose Room (except during a scheduled event). Check the listing of building hours to see when they are open. 

Certain jobs on campus have specific rules for working in the heat. If this applies to you, you should already have appropriate training. If you are not sure if this applies to you, ask your supervisor. If you have questions, please contact us.
