The College of Information (INFO) occupies four separate spaces - the Hornbake Library South, the Patuxent Building, the A.V. Williams Building, and the Universites at Shady Grove.
INFO Temperature Sensor Data
INFO-IT built these sensors to help INFO-FM better monitor temperatures across our buildings. The detailed data they provide will help us proactively identify and address temperature challenges and, importantly, provide compelling data to campus when building conditions require attention. These devices collect only temperature and humidity data. Temperature sensors are currently installed in 22 locations.
