Residential buildings and Mabee Dining Hall will remain open for students living on-campus or in City Vista. Indoor and outdoor athletic facilities are closed with the exception of two basketball games hosted in Calgaard Gym on Saturday afternoon.

Trinity University Police Department and Facilities Services are working to treat sidewalks, roads, and elevated surfaces affected by ice accumulation. Students are encouraged to use caution when moving about campus, as ice and snow downfall is projected to continue through Tuesday evening.
