Does your high school / did the high school you went to have air conditioning? (middle school, classrooms)

[tvdxer]

Yes, no, or only in some of the rooms.

Also, what year are you referring to, and where did you go to high school? I'd like to know exactly where high schools start to have air conditioning rather than just heating.

I went to school in northern Minnesota from '01 to '05, and our high school most assuredly did not have air conditioning. There were only a few days in which we really suffered.

[brocco]

yes. it was often way too cold imo. i graduated in 2005 in VA

I voted no but air conditioning was not common when I went to school...back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth...

I'm referring to 1977...I am so old...

The high school that was built in 1974, in my city, did have AC because the windows did not open and it was an open floor plan (open classrooms were the new thing so there were no walls between rooms and even if the windows opened, you were likely too far away from them for it to matter.)

No, my school didn't, and it was in Florida in the mid 80s.

NJ = My HS mid '70's had AC in the library, lunch room, band/chorus rooms, stage/autotourim, and of course the school offices and the teachers lounge.

GA = Now. My Son's HS has AC in all the rooms.

I attended two different high schools in the eighties in the upper midwest. The first was a fairly old school that did not have air conditioning; the second was new and did. The high school in my current district in the mountain west does have air conditioning, as do all of the elementaries and middle schools in our feeder area.

Michigan @ 1981 no AC. Nor can I remember many people having it in their home.

Now they shut down the school when the AC breaks. It seems funny to me. It is no hotter than it was in 1980.

I never remember there being AC. Being that it was in temperate Southern California, I don't think it was even necessary. If someone went to high school in Palm Springs or Bakersfield, they would need it...and I'm sure they have it.

My high school has air conditioning in all the rooms, but the old one didn't. The high school just opended this year. The old one had some air conditioning in all the rooms - only the ones towards the middle of the school as that part was remodeled. I remember being anoyed at all the really loud fans when it'd be warm(and smelly). The new high school is kept really cold.

The high school that I went to in the 1990s did not. The main part of it was built in the 1920s, the rest in the 1960s in an expansion project, and it was never retrofitted to include AC.

It was torn down in the early 2000s. The new school built includes AC.
