Weather Closings – Fordham Now https://now.fordham.edu The official news site for Fordham University. Wed, 18 Sep 2024 17:55:15 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/favicon.png Weather Closings – Fordham Now https://now.fordham.edu 32 32 232360065 Severe Weather Closings | UPDATE https://now.fordham.edu/campus-locations/severe-weather-closings-thursday-september-2-2021/ Thu, 02 Sep 2021 10:14:02 +0000 https://news.fordham.sitecare.pro/?p=151971 All campuses of Fordham University will closed Friday, September, 3, due to road closings and mass transit suspensions/delays caused by Tropical Storm Ida. No classes will be held on campus on Friday, but online classes will proceed as planned. Students impacted by the two-day campus closure may be given readings or alternative assignments by their instructors. Schools may permit instructors to hold tomorrow’s classes virtually at their regularly scheduled class times.

  • Dining services at Lincoln Center and Rose Hill will be open and operating on their normal schedules.
  • University Health Services will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Lincoln Center, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Rose Hill.
  • Counseling and Psychological Services will be open from noon to 5 p.m. at both Lincoln Center and Rose Hill.
  • Ram Van service will resume at 8 a.m. Friday and will run hourly until 4 a.m. Saturday morning.
  • UPDATE Friday, 9:30 a.m. | Walsh Library will be closed today.

Unfortunately, the storm caused major disruptions at the Rose Hill campus, including widespread flooding of lower floors. The University deployed facilities crews and pumping equipment overnight. The locations most affected were the basements of Duane Library, McGinley Center, and Walsh Library (the basement of which will require substantive remediation, and that floor will remain closed until Tuesday, at least).

There was no significant damage at Lincoln Center: we experienced minor flooding in the lower floors of McMahon Hall and 140 W. 62nd Street. Some elevator shafts were flooded: they have been pumped dry and are undergoing inspection prior to being put back into service. There were no injuries to students, faculty, nor staff.

As always, members of the University community should take local conditions into account when traveling to or from campus. In an emergency, please call Fordham Public Safety at (718) 817-2222.
