Three leaks in the hot water system forced more than 20 buildings to close

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. – Oakland University finally has heat, after being without it since Thanksgiving break.

Three leaks in the hot water system forced more than 20 buildings to close, including all but two dorm halls.

On Tuesday (Dec. 16), staff will get limited access to those buildings, and the school expects everything to be back to normal when students return from winter break.
