Aug. 24, 2017 — In anticipation of inclement weather associated with Hurricane Harvey, UTSA Facilities is preparing for heavy rains and high winds. Crews will be sandbagging flood-prone areas, securing outdoor furniture, cleaning storm drains, and taking other actions to protect the campus and UTSA community. Departments that have outdoor signs around campus, such as A-frame and yard signs, and any other loose items should bring them indoors immediately to prevent damage.
With the potential of water leaks in certain buildings, Facilities will provide plastic coverings to protect university equipment and property. Individuals at the Main Campus who need plastic coverings should go to the Sombrilla from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, August 25. A Facilities representative will be available to issue the plastic sheets. Individuals at the Downtown Campus should visit the Downtown Campus Facilities Maintenance Office in basement of the Buena Vista Street Building.
To report water leaks, flooding or other Facilities concerns requiring immediate attention, contact the Facilities Service Center at 210-458-4262 during normal business hours (Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). After hours and on weekends, contact Facilities Operations at 210-458-5277.
