Dear UIS Campus Community,
As we continue to experience extreme heat this week, City Water, Light & Power (CWLP) has issued a Maximum Generation Warning. This is due to the increased demand for electricity and a potential energy supply shortage from the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), the regional electric grid operator for the central United States.

Please note:
Dear Campus Community,
We are reaching out to inform you about an important upcoming project on the Founders Residence Hall roof. For the safety and integrity of the building, we must temporarily remove the green roof to inspect the underlying rubber membrane.
This inspection will help us identify any areas needing repair and determine if replacement is necessary. We’ll use the results of the inspections to guide our planning and scheduling. While we don’t have a specific timeline yet, work may begin as early as Monday, August 5.
F&S will be repairing the concrete steps on the west side of the PAC teardrop entrance. The repairs will include filling cracks and crevices as well as replacing crumbling or broken sections.
Work will begin this week and is expected to be completed mid-to-late August.
The steps will be closed during the work. For your safety, barriers and signage will be placed around the work areas so please use caution when walking in the vicinity.
We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance campus safety and infrastructure.
