Temperature Concerns
Many of you have been writing to us with concerns about the cold temperatures in buildings. Many thanks for bringing this to our attention! A couple of things to note about temps:
- You can directly voice your concerns to facilities management, either by calling 617-495-5521 or by emailing them at facmgmt at law.harvard.edu.
- Significant changes have not been made about the HLS set points for room temps…so some of what you’re experiencing is just normal fluctuation
- The climate control system uses unconditioned outside air to cool rooms when it can (I’m not a science person….but basically this means sometimes it feels like cool air is being pumped in when really it’s just getting colder outside)
Hope this helps – if you have further questions, feel free to contact us or Facilities Management!

My room is on the 1st floor of Hastings and I find it really hard to sleep at night because the floor, the bed, my table and everywhere in the room get really cold.
I complained to HUHS (of course, not formally but only in response to the question “how are you finding the new environment?”), and I’m glad to learn that others have expressed similar concerns.
Please do sth about this!
