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.

Located in the University of New Haven’s new Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation, the communication space includes a multiplatform newsroom, state-of-the-art technology, and countless opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Paul Falcone ’83, ’92 MBA is looking forward to teaching in the University’s new video production studios this fall. He believes the space will create new and enhanced opportunities for students to do everything from edit video to produce television newscasts.
Director of studio operations and media production at the University, Falcone says the space will enrich the outstanding work the students are already doing.
“The space will provide a seamless experience for students,” he said. “We will be able to do even more with this additional space.”
The University’s state-of-the-art equipment, including its television control room and studio equipment, will be moved from Maxcy Hall to the new space in the University’s new Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation, which opens later this month. The studio will now be nearly twice as large, and the broadcast set will take up a much smaller portion of the space, leaving more space for students to work.
The Bergami Center will also include a new space for journalism students, including a multiplatform newsroom where students can write, edit video, and create graphics. In addition, it will include twice as many video editing workstations as the University’s former video editing facility. There is also designated space for specialized editing and sound mixing and a special effects room where students can explore Foley and create sound effects for films.
"Having this new space creates exciting opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration between the University’s colleges and schools." Tom Garrett ’83
The space also enables students to create podcasts, explore virtual reality, and collaborate with students in the University’s new esports programs.
“Having this new space creates exciting opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration between the University’s colleges and schools,” said Tom Garrett ’83, chair of the University’s Communication, Film, and Media Studies Department. “It is will also enhance our relationship with FOX61.”
This fall, all production courses – including Falcone’s “Production Fundamentals” and “Advanced Film Production” classes – will be taught in the Bergami Center, giving students direct access to the new space and the equipment. Falcone expects the space will foster creativity, and he’s believes current – and prospective – students will be excited to see the opportunities it will offer.
