Students, faculty and staff:
Dear students, faculty, and staff,
We want to inform you that the restrooms in Tower 3, including all floors, are currently out of service due to a critical plumbing repair. We estimate that this repair will take a few days to complete.
In the meantime, please utilize the restroom facilities located in Towers 1 and 2. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
Thank you.
