Besides the squirrels and birds, pretty much not a creature is stirring on Transylvania University\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nearly two weeks over winter break, most of Transy\u2019s staff takes a holiday and the university goes into hibernation mode. This not only reduces its environmental footprint, but also saves money on utility bills\u2014to the tune of more than $400,000 since the shutdowns started seven years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university had been closing for only a few days during winter break, basically around Christmas and New Year\u2019s. On the days it was open, staff were scattered around campus in their offices\u2014and they weren\u2019t here every day. \u201cWe were continuing to operate the buildings utility-wise as if people were here 24-7,\u201d said Marc Mathews, vice president for finance and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now student residents, faculty and staff receive a checklist for their rooms, reminding them to dial back thermostats, unplug everything and turn off the lights. Also, this year for the first time if they do everything correctly they will be entered to win a $100 gift card to the university bookstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople have been very cooperative about it,\u201d Mathews said. “They understand that the university shouldn’t run utilities full blast when no one is here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically, not everything is shut down. For instance, Transy temporarily turns up the heat for basketball games in the Beck Center, and the student residents who stay on campus over break control the temperature of their individual rooms. \u201cWe take these situations one at a time and figure out what we need to do,\u201d Mathews said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offices will reopen Jan. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
