The annual steam shutoff for maintenance will be earlier this year, happening just after Commencement, May 11 through May 26, 2026. During this time period, hot water will not be available in buildings serviced by steam on the Fredericksburg Campus.
These buildings include:
- Arrington Hall
- Bushnell Hall
- Combs Hall
- Goolrick Hall
- Jefferson Hall
- Madison/Ball/Custis Halls
- Melchers/Pollard/duPont Halls
- Randolph/Mason Halls
- Seacobeck Hall
- Virginia Hall
- Westmoreland Hall
- Willard Hall
In addition, space conditions may vary, as temperature could fluctuate in work spaces. Please be aware of this work and plan accordingly. If you have student employees, programs or visitors in the office or on campus during this time, please share the information. The buildings remain open during the annual steam outage.
During this same time, the University Tennis Center will have HVAC replacements that will impact AC in the building. Please plan for temperature fluctuations in that space as the units are updated.
If you experience any major issues related to the steam outage beyond the hot water outage, please submit a work order online. Facilities will ensure that necessary equipment continues to operate properly in the absence of steam during this time.
