Campus Alert
UDC Facilities Update — Tuesday, Nov. 3

Buildings 32 and 42 are expected to remain closed through Nov. 10. This date is our current estimate and is subject to change pending ongoing evaluations and the safe restoration of the affected electrical systems.

The continued closure of Buildings 32 and 42 will affect School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) operations as well as the operations of the Art, Digital Media and Chemistry programs. This includes in-person instruction and certain campus activities housed within those facilities. Emergency Remote Instruction (ERI) will remain in effect for impacted courses.

Visit the Campus Alerts page for more information. 

For safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For emergencies, call 911.
