Please be advised there is a steam shutdown which will affect heating and hot water in the following buildings:

ARISE Building

There will be no hot water or heat in these buildings for approximately 24 hours. Normal operations are expected to resume by Saturday afternoon, May 25, 2019.

In addition, the lighting in the tunnels from University Centre to Herzberg and ARISE has been switched to emergency power, and as a result the lighting levels are lower than normal.
