- Saturday, March 21: Residential portions of College/Shango
- Sunday, March 22: Off
- Monday, March 23: Academic portions of College/Shango
- Tuesday, March 24: Academic portions of College/Shango and Old Main
- Wednesday, March 25: Old Main

This will extend the previously announced closure period for these buildings; academic portions of College/Shango Hall will now remain closed through Tuesday, March 24, and Old Main will remain closed through Thursday, March 26.
College/Shango Hall residents may move out beginning Sunday, March 22, at 8 a.m. No move outs are possible prior to that time, due to deep cleaning in residential areas scheduled for Saturday, March 21.
