The University of Texas Marine Science Institute sustained significant damage throughout the campus from Hurricane Harvey. The majority of our buildings and vehicles experienced water penetration in range of severity from minor to extensive due to roof failures, window blow-outs, and wind driven rain. The University is working hard to assess the damage and develop renovation plans including estimated timelines for reoccupation. The University's Environmental Health and Safety team has cleared spaces for reentry to authorized personnel. A disaster response contractor, Cotton Logistics, is on site to clean the campus of debris and assist in temporary renovations.
