Dear SMU Community,

Due to a water main break on main campus and its impact on some buildings, SMU employees in a facility without water or functioning A/C may leave campus early and, where feasible, finish their workday remotely.

The student residential facilities appear not to be affected at this time. Dedman School of Law students and employees should follow directions from their Dean’s Office.

Our facilities team is actively working on the issue, and we will provide further updates as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
