High-Temperature Hot Water (HTHW) Shutdown Schedule

May 2026

Each year, immediately following Commencement, our Campus Operations and Maintenance team conducts essential maintenance and repairs on the high-temperature hot water (HTHW) system. This system provides heat and hot water to numerous campus buildings, and a temporary shutdown is required to safely complete the necessary work.

This year’s HTHW maintenance will follow a three-phase schedule designed to restore service as efficiently and safely as possible, minimizing the impact on campus operations.

Non-Affected Buildings

Several buildings on West Campus are not served by the HTHW system and will remain unaffected. These include:

• Benedict Kitchen
  
• Charles B. Wang Center
  
• Chavez and Tubman Halls
  
• Computing Center
  
• East Side Dining
  
• Gray, Ammann, Irving, and O’Neil Halls

• RHD Apartments (all quads)

In addition, all buildings on East Campus, South Campus, West Apartments, and the R&D Park will not be affected by the shutdown.
