Update on Campus Services Under Current Conditions

The campus remains at Condition 2 until 11:00 pm this evening, and the town remains under a boil water advisory. The water supply continues to decrease on campus, posing risks to health and safety. We encourage faculty and staff who can leave campus to do so immediately, so that services can focus on residential and essential needs.

Below are details on services that are currently available:

Student Services

DINING: Chase and Top of Lenoir Dining Halls are open for limited hours with limited menus. Chase will not be open for late night. Please check the dining website at www.dining.unc.edu for hours.

HEALTH SERVICES: Campus Health Services will continue to operate under normal conditions as long as water pressure sufficient for patient care remains intact.  Visit the Campus Health website at campushealth.unc.edu for information about any altered operations that may be required.

EVENTS: Carolina Union and Campus Recreation Facilities are closed, and all Student Affairs programing and events are cancelled.

Research Facilities
Researchers should vacate their labs as it is not safe for continued research operations. Safety showers and safety eye washes will not work, fire sprinkler systems will have low pressure and building bathrooms are unusable.
