Nearly two dozen buildings on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus are temporarily closing due to air conditioning issues.
Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Robert Cramer said a broken chilled water line significantly reduced the university’s ability to cool certain buildings down.
Crews are working to install about 30 temporary chillers across campus until a permanent line can be installed, which is expected to take at least a month.
University leaders say the campus will stay open for classes and work, with some buildings set to have an increase in temperature to ensure other facilities are prioritized.
