Gas Leak on the Malibu Campus – Update #3

Posted on

SoCalGas is currently attempting an alternate solution to the problem, which may allow gas service to continue uninterrupted. SoCalGas will not be able to confirm if the attempted solution is successful for several hours. 

If unsuccessful, gas will need to be shut off to the areas listed below, resulting in an extended gas outage through at least mid-day Friday:

  • Drescher, including HOAs, student apartments, academic buildings, and the Villa
  • Tiner Court
  • Baxter Drive
  • George Page
  • Caruso School of Law
  • Towers
  • Department of Facilities pad

Dining services will be available in the Waves Cafeteria for affected faculty, staff, and residential students until 8 PM tonight.

The previously evacuated buildings (Lovernich, Eden, Krown Alpha, Shafer, and the Fitness Center) need to remain unoccupied at this time. The University will update members of the Malibu campus community by 10 PM, including students who have been displaced.
