Residence Hall Updates

• Our Campus Operations and Maintenance team has been working around the clock to remedy any flooding issues and confirmed that all of our residential buildings, except for Ammann and Gray, are safe and ready to be occupied. 
• Due to significant flooding, Ammann and Gray will need extensive repairs and cannot be safely occupied. We are currently communicating with and working to reassign impacted students to available spaces. 
• We are also designating additional rooms as temporary triples and will notify impacted students.
