Our steam provider, Cordia, will shut down Augsburg’s steam system for much of campus starting Friday evening, June 28, and lasting approximately through Tuesday, June 2.
This work is necessary to connect a new steam pipe, which will eliminate the condensate leak along Riverside Avenue. The shutdown will also provide an opportunity for water heater repairs and steam valve replacements on campus. During this time, hot water will not be available across much of campus. Dehumidification may also be affected in some buildings.
The Hagfors Center, Luther Hall, Anderson Residence Hall, and Oren Gateway Center will not be affected.
