Dear students,

Greetings Campus Community,

On Thursday, March 7, our Facilities & Services crews will be conducting a plumbing repair in the 2nd floor women's restroom on the classroom side of Brookens. This repair will require us to temporarily close that restroom from approximately 6:00 am to 9:00 am. All other restroom facilities will be open and available for use. Every effort will be made to keep the closure as brief as possible

Your cooperation and patience during this period are greatly appreciated.
