Dear Members of the UMBC Community,

Due to a Baltimore City water main break early this morning, the UMBC main campus experienced a water outage across a majority of its buildings and facilities. Campus facilities staff have been in constant communication with Baltimore City emergency maintenance crews throughout the day. Thank you for your patience.

As of 1:30 p.m., water flow has been fully restored to the campus. However, as a result of the water outage and subsequent closure of campus today, some operations and Homecoming events have been impacted.

Campus Facilities Update

All retail food venues on campus have been closed for the day. True Grit’s Dining Hall is open and operating normally.

Due to limited staffing, Commons, University Center, and the RAC are closed for the day. All academic buildings are now open and operating on their normal Friday schedule. Retriever Learning Center is also open.

UMBC Transit will continue normal operation and athletic practices will continue as scheduled.

Homecoming Update

Poetry Slam, 6:30 p.m., Lobby and Atrium, PAHB has been cancelled.

Blockshow, 8 p.m., Fine Arts Recital Hall, has been cancelled.

Dance Party, 10 p.m., UC Ballroom, has been cancelled.

All Homecoming events and campus venues will be open and operating normally on Saturday, October 13.
