All in-person classes at Arizona State University’s Tempe campus will be held remotely until further notice after a water line on campus failed Saturday morning, flooding the basement of a crucial facility.
According to an ASU spokesperson, the flooding damaged the basement of the Central Plant Facility, which “serves essential pumps that distribute cool water, critical to supporting the air conditioning systems in campus buildings.”
Due to the outage, all in-person classes on the Tempe campus had to be held remotely until further notice. Students attending “Session A” of ASU’s summer classes, which began Thursday and continue through June 26, will be affected by the closure.
The university advised all employees whose presence was necessary to continue working on campus, while facilities technicians worked to resolve the problem and keep key buildings at an optimal temperature.
Buildings, including University Services, Fulton Center, University Center A, B, C and ASU Police, were not affected by the problem.
Students and faculty were advised to check their ASU email for operational updates.
