We continue to work on repairs to the electrical cable providing power to cooling systems in the five affected buildings. The latest status report indicates that cooling will not be restored until tomorrow evening at the earliest.

Critical business normally provided in the impacted buildings will continue to be offered, but may be relocated to cooler locations. Signage will be posted in those circumstances. Department heads in the affected buildings can encourage staff to work at other locations on campus, if possible to meet operational needs. In cases where operations cannot be relocated, strategies such as job rotation could be implemented to ensure staff remain as cool as possible.

Affected Buildings:

Architecture Building

Azrieli Theatre

Azrieli Pavilion

Tory Building

University Centre

Affected areas are to be guided by the University Policy Closing Due to Indoor Temperature Extremes, which states the decision to close a work area is the responsibility of the department head.
