ASU’s Tempe Campus Switches to Remote Classes due to Flooding
A flood at Arizona State University‘s Tempe campus transitioned the institution to remote learning, as conveyed by university officials. The flooding, which occurred early Sunday morning, affected the Central Plant facility of the campus.
Impact of the Flooding on Campus Facilities

The session is scheduled to run till June 26th. Buildings unaffected by the flood include the University Services, Fulton Center, and University Center A,B,C, along with ASU Police.
