New ventilation system installed!!

Thanks to a generous grant from the Rasmuson Foundation, the Clausen Cabin is sporting a brand-new ventilation system, installed by Ventilation Solutions, LLC. Since the upgrades to the Clausen Cabin of a few years ago, the building is super tight – thus the new ventilation system will allow fresh, heated air during the winter months, as well as clean air during the pollen and fire (smoke) season of spring/summer. Additionally, respiratory borne pathogens will be kept at bay, allowing for a safer environment.

Again, thanks to Ventilation Solutions LLC and especially the Rasmuson Foundation for their generous contribution to our library!
