Resolved: The new concrete sidewalk poured between Design 1 and the Engineering Lab Building will be closed for curing until January 5th to vehicle traffic.

Monitoring: Although construction in this area has been completed, the concrete requires additional curing time. For safety, the area will remain barricaded, and vehicle access is not allowed at this time.

Monitoring: Construction remains in progress along the sidewalk between the Engineering Lab and Design 1 Buildings, where contractors accessed the conduit for repairs. Please avoid this area, as it contains broken concrete, heavy equipment, and open trenches.

Monitoring: Update -The source of the gas leak has been identified and successfully repaired. -All campus gas, power, and technology services have been fully restored.

Current Known Impact Construction work is still underway in the area where contractors accessed the conduit for repairs. This is located along the sidewalk path between the Engineering Lab and Design 1 Buildings. Please avoid this area, as it contains broken concrete, heavy machinery, and deep trenches.

Timeline Contractors will continue to work on this project through the end of the week.

Logistics For safety, please advise patrons to use alternate routes and avoid the affected sidewalk.

Identified: All technology services have been restored.

Identified: Current Known Impacts: The outage will fully impact Marietta, including: -Access to on-premises systems and services that depend on campus networking -Wired and wireless network connectivity -The academic and administrative buildings, except the Recreation and Wellness Center, on the Marietta Campus are currently without heat and hot water. -The Academic Building (H) currently has no power and is closed. -Some elevators on the Marietta Campus are temporarily out of service during this time. -The Johnson Library is also closed. -Big Owl Bus service remains available between both campuses. -Students with classes on the Marietta Campus should contact their faculty or login to D2L regarding any changes to their classes during modified operations.

Identified: The Marietta Campus will move to modified operations today, December 2, 2025 due to ongoing campus infrastructure impacts from yesterday’s Gas Leak situation.
