Many LSU buildings experiencing air-conditioner problems that could last days, or weeks

Many buildings on LSU's campus are experiencing air-conditioning problems, and a fix could take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

The LSU Emergency Operations Center put out an update Thursday evening saying LSU has identified the problem and is working on it.

"Climate control in many of our campus buildings is operated through a chilled water system. The system is currently operating at 32% of its normal capacity," the news release says. "This means that the system is currently unable to cool many campus buildings."

The outage is equivalent to the loss of about 2,800 residential air-conditioning units, according to the report, which also notes that the complexity of the repairs will delay the fix. It was not mentioned in the report when the issues were first noticed or reported.
