Safe-T-Elements, Part II, Christiana West Tower


As in the post last week, this week highlights our continuing program to replace all our traditional electrical stoves on campus with the new Safe-T-Element model that reduces the risk of unattending cooking fires. With the help of Kevin McSweeney, our University Fire Marshall, we managed to replace all the stoves in Christiana West on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Although we first removed the old stoves in the morning, we minimized the disruption to those students here for Winter Session by delivering to them the new stove prior to the end the day. Again as was the case with the Conover West installation, all the stoves were sent to Diamond State Recycling Company in Wilmington, so that there metal content could be re-used. Also, all cardboard packing material for the new stoves was recycled by our Grounds Department.
