Peninsula: College offices to be dark Fridays to save energy

Peninsula College offices in Port Angeles, Port Townsend and Forks will be closed every Friday during summer quarter, June 22 through Sept. 14.

Office hours during the rest of the work week will be expanded to 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

Interim President Allan Carr noted that, with no summer classes scheduled on Fridays, college officials decided to close the school’s offices as a way to conserve energy.

Several other community colleges in the state are also observing four-day weeks during the summerfor the same reason, Carr said.
