Winter weather, including heavy snow across several parts of the state, has impacted operations at WSU campuses in Pullman, the Tri-Cities, and Everett for Wednesday, Feb. 5.
The Pullman campus announced a delayed start until 10 a.m. and the Tri-Cities also announced a two-hour delay. The WSU building in Everett, meanwhile, will remain closed Feb. 5 following partial suspension of operations a day earlier.
In Pullman, classes scheduled before 10 a.m. will be canceled and most university offices will be closed until normal operations resume. Similarly, classes scheduled during the delayed operations period were to be canceled and offices on the Tri-Cities campus were to remain closed until normal operations resume.
The Compton Union Building and SRC were scheduled to open at 7:30 a.m. on the Pullman campus and most campus dining facilities will maintain normal operations during the suspended operations period.
The university issued the WSU Alert for Pullman early Wednesday advising of the decision and that emergency management staff will continue to closely monitor conditions. The Tri-Cities and Everett campuses announced their operational impacts through their emergency alert channels.
With the safety of students, faculty and staff in mind, the operational changes are intended to provided campus crews an opportunity to clear walkways and other heavily used facilities such as parking lots. In Everett, continued hazardous driving conditions led to the decision to close for the day.
Human Resource Services has an FAQ on its website with additional information related to inclement weather and suspended operations.
