Public Safety is tracking a significant snowfall that will be arriving in our area late Sunday morning (Jan. 25). It will snow heavily throughout the day and evening eventually tapering off Monday (Jan. 26) with 10-14 inches expected statewide. A sleet and freezing rain mix is also possible along the shore. Temperatures will be in the teens and twenties.
Due to this significant winter storm and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place, all in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2026 have been cancelled. All scheduled in-person classes will transition to being held online or remotely. Additional information on the virtual format for each class will be provided by your instructor.
Faculty have been asked to prepare for Online or Remote sessions in the event of in-person meeting cancellations. These options will be determined by the Faculty member and all questions should be directed to the Faculty teaching each course section. Faculty also have been asked to be very understanding and accommodating of the individual situations of their students who may have difficulty managing these alternative online or remote class meetings on short notice.
Please note that only essential employees, as previously determined by their respective department leaders, should report to campus. All other employees should fulfill the requirements of their role remotely.
Campus operations for residential students, unless otherwise noted, will operate as scheduled, though hours may be modified or changed based on the conditions. Separate messages will be sent from the Peterson Library, the Beckerman Recreation Center, and Dining Services regarding any changes to their normal hours of operation. The Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation will remain open for residential students to use for study space and to participate in online classes.
Off-campus students that live in the City of West Haven should abide by the city’s parking ban during inclement weather to avoid having their vehicle tagged and towed. Please check the City of West Haven’s website for further information on their snow parking ban.

I was excited to explore the University’s new Bergami Center for the first time, and I came away impressed by the collaborative spaces and cutting-edge technology it offers, as well as the way the building commemorates the University’s past, present, and future.

Today was a great day. I finally got to walk around campus for the first time in more than five months.
As a commuter student, I’m not at the University as often as I’d like to be, and I spend even more time at home now with my hybrid and online courses.
So, when Chris Fogarty ’21, my fellow communications media intern in the Office of Advancement, offered to give me a tour of the University’s new Bergami Center of Science, Technology, and Innovation, I grinned in excitement. After a year of walking past the construction site and seeing scaffolding surrounding the building, I would finally be able to view the finished product. I couldn’t wait!
We toured the entire building, and here are some of my favorite things about it:
The Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation’s name does not disappoint. The innovative technology that I saw throughout the building was simply breathtaking! Chris and I bumped into a few students in the Shaub Makerspace. They were working with the 3D printers and – wait for it – a full embroidery machine! My dad used to sell embroidered shirts in his old store some years ago and seeing that machine brought back great memories. Austin Thomas ’19, ’21 M.S. told us about his plans to make UNewHaven merchandise with the machine. I can’t wait to see how it comes out!
I’m a commuter student, so I’m always looking for places to sit and study on campus in between, before, and after my classes. I got really excited when I saw students sitting all over the building with their laptops out and studying with their friends. Even Chris gushed about the huddle rooms there, and I know I will be using the study space there often during my trips to campus.
Walking around the Bergami Center for the first time, I wanted to take everything in. As Chris and I entered some of the rooms, I made sure to take notice of the names. I loved seeing the different alumni and donors who made an impact at the University. My favorite? Bella Cohen ’24. She was the first woman to ever graduate from the University of New Haven, then New Haven College.
Chris and I filmed my reaction to the new Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation for the Alumni Association’s Instagram page. We made sure to provide an inside look at all the cool features of the center. I hope you’ll soon have a chance to experience the Bergami Center in person. Until then, you can take a virtual tour.
