As a reminder, as part of our Summer Utilities Savings Program, most IUP Indiana campus offices and buildings, including the IUP Libraries, will be closed to the public Monday, June 29, through Friday, July 3.
Please note that this does not impact the IUP regional campus buildings and operations at Punxsutawney and Pittsburgh East, which will continue regular hours of instruction and operations.
On Friday, July 3, most IUP offices will be closed for the July 4 holiday (see exceptions below).
From June 29 to July 3, employees at the Indiana campus will be working remotely, as appropriate, and services offered by these offices will be available remotely. These buildings will be locked, and additional utility setbacks will take place in buildings that will be closed to the public during this time period, to achieve additional utility savings as part of the plan. Operations will still take place, but remotely, and employees will ensure that services are available.
In the case of an emergency requiring access to closed buildings during this time period, contact University Police at 724-357-2141.
Employees with work duties that require physically working on-site, including on Fridays and during the week of June 29 to July 3, will continue to do so; This includes police officers, housing staff, facilities staff, and others, as directed by their supervisors.
On-campus offices remaining physically open from June 29 to July 2 include the following, noting that several of the offices, including the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex, Housing and Dining (Ruddock Hall and North Dining Hall), Office of Public Safety/University Police, and the S. W. Jack Cogeneration Plant, are also available on July 3.
- Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex
- Athletics administration (Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex)

The principle of not disrupting instruction during the Summer Utilities Savings Program continues to be followed, so any buildings hosting scheduled classes and select pre-approved events (as reserved through 25Live) will remain open and without utility setbacks. (This includes buildings that have been identified as part of the Summer Savings Plan as requiring climate control, e.g., those housing live animals, fragile textiles, or equipment.)
Signage will be posted at all entrances to buildings being closed, along with information on how the public can contact departments within the building during this time period.
The 2026 Summer Utilities Saving Program continues through Friday, August 14.
