All of UW-Madison campus now open after cooling issues

All of the buildings on UW-Madison’s campus that were closed because of air conditioning problems opened back up on Monday.

Parts of the campus have been closed since June because a chilled water line broke during a stretch of extreme heat and humidity.

For now, UW has installed temporary chillers to help the buildings stay cool until the air conditioning is back to its full operating capacity.

Employees who have been working from home are able to return to their normal workplace arrangements.
