Essential operations like patient care, research, and in-person classes stay cool, but most offices and classrooms will heat up. Employees must plan alternative work arrangements starting Tuesday, with options like remote work or relocating. The university is racing to fix the system while preparing for possible expansion of affected areas. Students will get direct updates from instructors.
