To our U of T Engineering community
Due to ongoing power disruptions, the Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship (U of T building 087) will be closed today, Thursday, February 10, 2022, and remain closed through the weekend.
Crews are on site and working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. I want to extend an enormous thank you to our facilities and infrastructure staff across the Faculty, especially those in Myhal, as well as to the Registrar’s Office and Grad offices. This has been a real challenge and I appreciate everyone’s hard work and patience.
Classes scheduled in Myhal on Thursday and Friday are being relocated — instructors have been contacted with alternate room assignments. Students, please continue to check your inboxes for the latest updates from your instructors.
The University is also aware of reports that more protests may be planned for downtown Toronto and around Queen’s Park this coming weekend, February 12 and 13, 2022. Any important updates that may affect the University community will be shared via the UTAlert system — as I mentioned last weekend, I encourage everyone to sign yourselves up to UTAlert if you haven’t yet.
I recognize this week has brought unexpected challenges. Though we’re still facing some uncertainty, we will find a way back to stability by working together and doing our best. I’m grateful to each of you for your efforts to take care of yourselves, and support each other.

I’m pleased to share that power has now been restored to the following U of T buildings:
- Wallberg Building (008)
- D.L. Pratt Building (008A)
- Engineering Annex (021)
- Electrometallurgy Lab (093)
You received an email from me on Tuesday evening about this — the outage also affected the Engineering Computing Facility email servers, so that message couldn’t be sent until power was restored. Please disregard.
At this point, crews are still working to restore access to the Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship (087).
Classes scheduled to take place in the Myhal Centre today, Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022 will be relocated. Instructors have been informed. Students, please check your inboxes for messages from your instructors regarding specific courses that may be affected by these closures.
We are trying to resolve this as quickly as possible and will update you again as soon as we know more.
