Status of Campus Buildings or Departments
Last updated: 6/4/20 9:30 a.m.
The modification of the campus schedule over the past few days has impacted our ability to finalize preparations for the opening of offices and the return of additional staff and faculty to campus. As a result, we are making a slight adjustment to the Redbird Return Plan.
Specifically, for individuals who were scheduled to return on June 8, your return-to-campus date is now Monday, June 15. You should continue to work remotely through the week of June 8. Questions regarding how this impacts you individually should be directed to your supervisor but, again, the only item changing is the return date.
Employees working on-campus should report to work as follows:
- Employees who work exclusively between the hours of 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. should report to work as scheduled.
- Employees whose normal work schedule extends beyond 8 p.m. should report to work at the start of their shift but depart campus at 8 p.m., unless otherwise instructed by their supervisor.
- Employees whose normal work schedule begins after 8 p.m. should not report to work unless otherwise instructed by their supervisor.
- Employees whose normal work schedule begins before 7 a.m. should report to work at 7 a.m., unless otherwise instructed by their supervisor.
- Building access will continue in its current 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. format (Monday-Friday) only; Watterson Dining Commons will maintain its summer hours.
- Employees working remotely should continue to do so, working their normally scheduled hours, and online instruction should continue.
Additional Future Plans
The building specific plans are subject to change.

Starting July 1, all Admissions spaces will be open and staffed. The plan for limited tours will continue until we progress into a new stage and under the direction of the Governor's office.
