Temperature Regulations In accordance with the City of Middleton’s Sustain- able City Plan dated November 2010, a policy was established for temperature controls in normally occupied spaces of all municipal buildings. The policy goal is to maintain a reasonably comfortable, produc- tive work environment while balancing the need to economize and use energy resources wisely. Tem- peratures are established based on national standards that have been found to be comfortable for most people who are dressed appropriately for the season. Heating will be to 68 degrees. Cooling will be to 78 degrees. Because temperatures vary throughout the day and within a building, participants should dress for their comfort. Building Reminders The Middleton Senior Center has exercise equipment that you may use. However, due to the limited space and our programs, there may be times when the equipment is unavailable due to other activities. For example, when events are scheduled in the Depot room, such as the video lecture or movies, the exercise equipment may not be used. In addition, the Lower Level is locked at 4:00 p.m. for security purposes. Therefore, all programs and equipment use must be completed by 4:00 p.m. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
