Current Status: Galveston Campus - Modified Operations
Power has been restored to the UTMB Galveston Campus following a CenterPoint Energy outage that affected the campus overnight. As of approximately 6 a.m. today, all campus buildings had been returned to normal power service.
Facilities teams continue to monitor building systems and address any remaining operational issues.
Patients whose appointments may have been affected by the outage are being contacted directly. Ambulatory clinics will operate on their normal schedules today.
Employees are expected to report for their scheduled shifts unless otherwise directed by their supervisor.
For students, many lecture-based and didactic courses are being transitioned to remote instruction today. Please check with your school or course leadership for specific guidance. Clinical rotations, patient care activities, and other in-person academic activities will continue as scheduled.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as teams across the institution worked throughout the night to restore operations.
