[Important Information for Employees] Update 4 | Loss of Heating Services in Residence Halls and Buildings

[Office of the President]

*The following message is being sent on behalf of Todd Moravec, Interim
Vice President for Administration and Finance*

Dear University Community,

Good morning. I write to update you on the latest status of the heating
issue that continues to impact several buildings on camps.


During excavation, a blowout was discovered in the high-temperature hot
water line. Unfortunately, this appears to be a symptom rather than the
root cause of the issue. Excavation continues this morning and a plan and
timeline for repairs and the restoration of heating services is not
available at this time. The following buildings will continue to be
impacted today:


   -

   Clinton Dining Hall
   -

   deFredenburgh Hall
   -

   Hood Hall
   -

   Moffitt Hall
   -

   Sibley Hall
   -

   Wilson Hall


Residents of the affected halls will continue to receive specific updates
and guidance from campus housing via email. All dining services will
continue to operate according to their published schedules. Contingency
plans will be communicated if circumstances change or if the situation is
expected to extend beyond today.

Please be aware that once the root cause is identified, there may be
temporary and intermittent disruptions to heating services in other
buildings and residence halls during the repair process. We anticipate that
the heating load in these buildings will help minimize the impact of these
temporary disruptions.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience during this
challenging time. We will continue to keep you informed with updates as we
work toward resolving the issue.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Todd Moravec
Interim Vice President, Administration and Finance
