As noted in Daily Digest messages beginning last November, during the week of spring break 2010 the campus will experience a steam outage that will disrupt the availability of domestic hot water and heat in buildings on the core campus. The outage is expected to last from 12:01 a.m. Sunday, March 14 until approximately 5 p.m. Saturday, March 20. During this time, there will be no hot water or heat in the following buildings:
? 7800 York Rd. (Bateman?s will have domestic hot water)
? Burdick
? College of Liberal Arts (new addition)
? Cook Library
? Dowell Health Center
? Glen Esk
? Hawkins
? Lecture Hall
? Linthicum
? Media Center
? Newell
? Newell Dining
? Power Plant
? Prettyman
? Psychology Building
? Residence Tower (hot water outage only; there will be heat)
? Richmond
? Scarborough
? Smith
? Stephens
? University Union
? Van Bokkelen
? Ward
? West
Given the unpredictable nature of weather during the month of March, it may be necessary for some faculty or staff to temporarily relocate to offices in campus buildings unaffected by the outage, or work from home. Such arrangements should be made at the discretion of departmental supervisors, with the approval of the divisional VP.
The outage is necessary to complete construction on the campus?s central steam plant. For any questions or concerns about the outage, contact Bob Schwartz at 410-704-2717 or {rschwartz@towson.edu}. Thank you in advance for your cooperation while we construct reliable central utility systems to accommodate the campus growth.
