Holmes on Homes goes to the computer lab
I like to say that the IT staff knows where everything is – we find ourselves in every closet, basement and dark space on campus. As a result, we often discover little surprises that other people perhaps thought would never be seen… like this switch and thermostat above the tile ceiling in one of the computer labs. We were moving a projector and running new cables to it when we discovered these jewels.
Faculty members have often complained about the temperature in this lab – no kidding! It was set to 77 degrees! Pretty sure that having a switch in the ceiling is not up to code, either (not to mention that I have no idea what it controls). But never fear! The IT staff is full service, so we ran the thermostat down the wall and put it next to a light switch where they can actually use it.
Never a dull moment!
