Thermal practices vary by installation. Some of our mainframes
were installed in building spaces with weird dimensions
(long and slim). Those style of facilities did not use
the "killer" chiller plant. You could dress normally there.

The CDC machine, it might have been 57F with a breeze in there
(the breeze is the part that kills you), and the woman operator
wearing the thick angora sweater, she was constantly hugging herself
for warmth. She just hated working in those conditions, but that wasn't
a union shop. She never ever smiled. That's why
my nick for her was "The Ice Queen".

And nobody wore suits in our mainframe facilities. Same goes
for the university mainframe. Attire was casual. You would
wear something heavy enough, for the conditions.
