11.13.22 Update

Facilities and Services has encountered an unforeseen issue with the flooring installation at WUIS. The condition of the subfloor requires extensive grinding to prepare it for the installation of the new flooring. This is a very time-consuming process that we anticipate will push the reopening of the restrooms to the middle of next week, November 16 or 17.

We apologize for the continued inconvenience, and every effort will be made to reopen the restrooms as quickly as possible.

Protect those you love and yourself by getting a COVID booster over in PAC on from 1-4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 16, or 9 a.m.-12 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18th!
