Students and staff at the Northwest Campus of El Paso Community College (EPCC) are facing a slight disruption this week. Due to essential repairs and upgrades to the campus's water pipes, the entire NW Campus will be closed on Wednesday, May 28, and Thursday, May 29.
According to EPCC News, the decision comes as the institution progresses with updates that necessitate the complete shutdown of the water supply in the affected facilities. "The campus will need to be closed Wednesday, May 28 & Thursday, May 29," the college informs, pointing to the necessity for such an extreme measure to ensure that the upgrades are completed efficiently.
While the Northwest Campus grinds to a temporary halt, EPCC has announced that campus operations and student services will shift to a remote format, ensuring that education and administrative obligations endure, uninterrupted by the pipeline. This closure only impacts the NW Campus, as EPCC clarifies that all other campuses within the network maintain their normal operations.
Faculty and staff affected by the closure are advised to reach out to their supervisors for further instructions or to determine an alternative work location during this period. The need for clarity is paramount, as the college transitions smoothly to a telecommuting arrangement for two days. This adjustment, though perhaps an inconvenience, aims to further the campuses' long-term functionality and safety.
