Crisis Centre
The K.C. Irving Chemistry Centre (KCI building) will remain closed on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, as heat was lost in the early morning hours of Monday, January 5, resulting in a water line break. For safety reasons, Facilities Management asks that no one enter the building while they continue to work to resolve the heating issue and make repairs. A further update will be sent as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience.
