WSU’s Corbin Education Center is temporarily out of service because of flooding caused by a chilled water line break in the basement, causing power, data and HVAC outages throughout the building. Normal operations and scheduled classes will likely not return until Wednesday, March 27 as facilities personnel work on the building.
Students: If you have classes in Corbin, please check Blackboard and/or your email for updates. Your instructors will communicate whether class will be held in another campus location or remotely until Corbin is back open. If you have questions, please reach out to your instructor.
