In a trial effort to save utility costs, Missouri Western State University will go to a four-day work week for four weeks in June. The campus will be closed on four Fridays: June 9, 16, 23 and 30. The campus will also be closed on Monday, July 3 to extend the Independence Day holiday.
Campus departments will be open extended hours Monday through Thursday during the four-day weeks, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Employee work schedules will be modified accordingly.
There are some exceptions: the Baker Family Fitness Center and the Thomas Eagleton Indoor Pool will remain open to campus and public users on Fridays, though hours may be modified. The Walter Cronkite Memorial inside Spratt Hall will be open, but docents may not be available.
