In addition, the heat will be turned off this evening in the BU, Administration Building (AD), the Campus Center (CC), and Center for Business and Industry (BI) while initial repairs get underway.

Students who have classes in the BU Building – 16 classes are impacted – will be notified by their professors where their classes will be held while the BU Building is closed. Faculty and staff who have offices in the BU Building should discuss office access, relocation, and telework options with their supervisor.
The CSM Facilities Management team discovered a leak in the central campus heating system that is warmed by a hot water boiler loop (non-domestic water) last week when steam was seen reaching the surface of the ground near the north entrance to the BU Building. Further inspections this morning allowed CSM to isolate the leak and start fixing the problem yesterday afternoon.
