VCU's 2008 Winter Closing, December 22, 2008 through January 2, 2009, requires 12 additional hours for which eligible faculty and staff must take leave, with or without pay, to cover the time away from work. During the winter closing, most academic buildings will be closed, and temperatures in those buildings may be set back significantly. Some academic buildings used for intersession classes, ongoing research or patient/clinic operations, or containing equipment that could be damaged by low temperatures, will continue to be heated during the holiday closing period. The plan to close certain buildings and reduce heat does not apply to housing, recreation, athletics, dining, or Health System hospital and clinic buildings.
