Update on Campus Hot Water System Repairs

Dear UMBC Community,

Thank you for your cooperation as the Facilities Management team makes complex repairs to the campus hot water system. We expect this work to continue through the weekend and want to provide you with a status update for the affected campus buildings.

The following buildings will continue to have reduced temperatures and will not have hot water: Administration Building, Retriever Activity Center, University Center, Engineering Building, Information Technology/Engineering Building, Math/Psychology Building, Sondheim Hall, Sherman Hall, Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery, Public Policy Building, Physics Building, Biological Sciences/Schwartz Building, and the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building.

Erickson Hall and The Commons will have reduced temperatures but will have hot water provided by auxiliary systems.

All buildings will remain open as usual and classes will continue as scheduled. Bathrooms will remain functional with cold water available.

Dining updates include:

• Dining locations in The Commons, The Admin Coffee Shop, and Starbucks will be open as usual.
• Chick-Fil-A will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday.
• Einstein's Bagels will remain closed until hot water is restored.

We continue to monitor the temperature in buildings and are working closely with building managers and Residential Life staff to make sure operations continue effectively and safely and our residential students remain comfortable.

We appreciate your support and will update the campus as soon as hot water is restored.
