Beginning this month, Allan Hancock College is transitioning to a summertime four-day workweek to reduce utility costs. The four-day schedule will run for 10 weeks starting the week of June 4. The college and all its centers will be closed the following Fridays: June 8, 15, 22, and 29; July 13, 20, and 27; and Aug. 4 and 10.
The college doesn’t offer classes on Fridays during the summer term. Employees will work longer hours Monday through Thursday to maintain the same levels of public access and student service, college officials said in a press release.
However, the PCPA theater and its offices will remain open on Fridays throughout the summer.
The week of July 2 will be a regular workweek, but all college locations will be closed Wednesday, July 4, in recognition of the Independence Day holiday.
Full college operations, Monday through Friday, will resume the week of Aug. 13. Fall classes begin Aug. 20.
