Welcome to the New Year and another 12 months of replacements, renos, switches, and various other miscellaneous improvements on UD Campus. We started the new year this week by replacing all the stoves in our graduate housing area in Conover West Apartments with Safe-T-Element stoves. The Safe-T-Element feature prevents unattended cooking fires by regulating the temperature of the burners so that they do not exceed a certain degree, even if left on. Traditional coil burners continue to heat up if left unattended potentially causing a fire. Next week we will be replacing all the stoves in Christiana West with the same Safe-T-Element stoves. After that, all residence hall cooking areas will have the stoves except for the last phase that will hit Residence Life Apartments in the Spring. The photo shows the old stoves being loaded up in a dumpster that won't be going to a landfill, but will be picked up by Diamond State Recycling Company so that the stoves will be recycled and not trashed.
