Students are preparing for finals and Facilities Management is preparing for the annual winter turn-down — when the campus lowers the heat where appropriate to save on energy costs during the holiday break.

Which means, if you are working, remember to dress appropriately for what may be a chilly office.

If you're not going to be here, or your department is closed completely, remember to turn off the lights and office equipment before you leave, so the campus can save even more energy. See the Campus Energy Checklist.

First come final exams, all next week, Dec. 10-14; and the midyear commencement, Saturday, Dec. 15. Then there’s a full week, Dec. 17-21, before the break.

The thermostat setback begins Friday evening, Dec. 21, and continues until Wednesday morning, Jan. 2. The period in between includes four administrative holidays: Monday-Tuesday, Dec. 24-25, and Monday-Tuesday, Dec. 31-Jan. 1.

In addition, many departments and units will be closed Wednesday-Friday, Dec. 26-28. Employees can have an extra long break, by using vacation or compensatory time, or they can take alternative assignments. Many other employees will take off extra time, too, even though their units are not closing.

Read the campus directive on holiday closures.

See what's happening with the heat in your building. If you have concerns about the scheduled setbacks, you can contact the Energy Management Office, specifically John Coon, (530) 754-9995 or jwcoon@ucdavis.edu, or Fred Haynes, (530) 681-0704 or fwhaynes@ucdavis.edu; or the Shared Services Center, (530) 754-4SSC (4772).

Campus safety and emergencies

The Police Department will be fully staffed, but officers are asking everyone who is here to help keep an eye on things. If you see anything suspicious, call 911 or (530) 752-1230.

Facilities Management will have personnel available to deal with buildings and grounds emergencies; call the customer service center, (530) 752-1655, for assistance.

Most students will be gone, but the coffee will still be on for staff and faculty, at the Coffee House, the ARC Starbucks and the Silo Starbucks through Dec. 21, and from Dec. 26 to 28 at the Silo Starbucks.

Food options the week before Christmas include the TxMx Grill, Fickle Pickle Deli and Ciao Pizza at the CoHo, and Carl's Jr. at the Silo. See box for details.

UC Davis Stores, the Activities and Recreation Center, and Repro Graphics also announced their holiday schedules. See listings below. Campus libraries have posted special hours for finals and the holidays.

Unitrans buses will not run Dec. 24-25 and Dec. 31-Jan. 1; break service or weekend service will be in effect during the rest of the holiday period. The UC Davis-UC Davis Medical Center shuttle also will offer reduced service during winter break. See listings below.

Oh, and about those finals: Check out University Communications intern Sarah Johnson's video guide on places to study.
