To repair critical steam infrastructure lines, the Downtown area of campus will experience an emergency steam outage beginning at 12:30 a.m. Monday (Dec. 18).
The Facilities Management team hopes to return buildings to normal operation by 3 p.m. Wednesday (Dec. 20).
During this time, buildings on the Downtown area of campus will be without heat and hot water. However, the Life Sciences Building and Field Hall will not be affected by this outage. The Facilities team will continually monitor temperatures in campus buildings and residence halls to maintain heat levels to the best of their abilities.
Researchers should consider delaying any new research projects that could be impacted by these outages if at all possible.
We appreciate your understanding as we complete this critical work.
If you have questions or concerns about the outage, contact your building supervisor to discuss your specific needs. You also may contact Facilities and Services at FacilitiesandServices@mail.wvu.edu with any general questions.
