Due to current weather conditions and a malfunction in one of our chilling systems, the university has implemented Stage 3 of the cooling curtailment plan, effective immediately.
All cooling to targeted building fan systems in impacted buildings serving non-critical areas has been turned off, but normal ventilation will continue in these spaces. In accordance with the California Code of Regulation for Indoor Heat Illness Prevention, community members in these impacted building spaces will be directed to either temporarily relocate or shift to remote work or learning (as authorized by and in accordance with Academic Senate Guidelines for Remote Instruction) as interior temperatures would be expected to reach or exceed 82 degrees.
A list of affected buildings and the Campus Cooling Response Plan is available at: https://facilities.ucla.edu/campus-cooling-response-plan.
These measures will remain in effect until further notice and are necessary to maintain adequate cooling in critical facility areas, including hospital and patient care settings, research space, vivariums, general assignment classrooms and data centers.
