We are entering the 鈥渟pring shoulder season鈥� from early April to May, the time of the year where we switch from heating our buildings to cooling them.

We also want to inform all building directors that this preparation prioritizes preventative maintenance activities related to upcoming shoulder season, therefore it may lead to longer completion timelines for some of the work you request.
