With a return to lower temperatures and humidity levels in the L.A. region and the completion of the emergency repair of our chilling system, the stage three cooling curtailment period in non-critical areas of our building facilities — as well as classrooms and recreational facilities — has ended and normal operations have resumed. Temperatures within affected buildings will return to their usual levels.

As communicated on Sunday, the university is currently in Stage 3 of the cooling curtailment plan, impacting buildings serving non-critical areas.

Due to ongoing high temperatures and system limitations, we must unfortunately expand Stage 3 cooling curtailment to additional locations. This expansion is necessary because of a malfunction in one of our chilling systems and a rapidly depleting Thermal Energy Storage (TES) supply, which together are significantly straining our ability to meet campus cooling demands.

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.

The Extreme Heat Warning in the City of Los Angeles has been EXTENDED through at least Sunday at 9pm. High temperatures of up to 107 degrees in the San Fernando Valley and up to 95 in downtown Los Angeles and the LA basin will continue through the weekend.
