Cool air slowly coming back to UW campus; rec facilities shut down

Temperatures are starting to come down in facilities on the UW-Madison campus, but the continued hot weather is taxing the system so uncomfortable conditions will still be prevalent in some buildings.

University officials said on Tuesday that occupants of about 40 of the university?s 330 buildings will be sweating, as air conditioning capacity slowly comes back. The hot weather has also prompted the Division of Recreational Sports to close the UW-Madison recreational facilities until further notice.
