HEPA filter placement for fall 2023

The FM (Facilities Management) department uses strategies for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Condition) systems to maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor building environment. FM partnered with the Department of Health, Safety, and Risk Management (HSRM) and evaluated all Office of Classroom Management assigned spaces to determine where HEPA filters will be placed for fall 2023. Visit the Facilities Management (FM) Safe Campus Support website for more information.

Search for a list of classrooms by visiting UMN Building Classroom Portable Air Filtration Unit Locations. If the room you are searching for is not listed, it does not require a portable air filtration unit because it met CDC and ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) issued guidance for operating HVAC systems.

Please email Heath, Safety and Risk Management for help answering your HEPA filter questions at hsrm@umn.edu. A subject matter expert will get back to you soon.

Fall 2023 final exams

If an in-person or blended class is planning to have an in-person final exam, the Final Exam Request form must be filled out to request a classroom. This same form can also be used to inform us of any final exam changes (date/time or alternate seating). You can submit up to five classroom/change requests per submission.

The list of final exams and common exams that have already been scheduled is available on the Fall 2023 Final Exam and Common Exam Scheduled Rooms spreadsheet.

The deadline to submit these requests for fall 2023 is November 10, 2023.
