The Long Center has installed UVC lighting in all of its air handler units. This technology has been proven to neutralize viruses, bacteria, and other airborne pathogens that may be present in the system. Additionally, the Long Center HVAC system uses MERV 13 air filters to further ensure a clean and safe environment for patrons, performers, and staff.

More information about UVC lighting and its application in HVAC systems can be found here.
