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.

University Commons, a private mix-use development planned steps from the University of New Haven campus, will feature 179 apartments and 50,000 square feet of retail space, restaurants, and shops catering to students and young professionals.
University of New Haven president Steve Kaplan said the new development will create a true "college town" atmosphere in the Allingtown section of West Haven where the University calls home.
This project holds great promise for invigorating the neighborhood and will change the nature of the University of New Haven student experience
- President Steve Kaplan
The development is being modeled after a vibrant downtown area located near the University of Connecticut. The first phase, The Atwood, opens in July on the site of the former Carroll Cut-Rate Furniture store on Boston Post Road and features 67 high-end studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments that will be occupied by University of New Haven students. The 60,000-square-foot facility also includes 15,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.
"I hope my fellow Westies are as excited as I am about the forthcoming opening of
The Atwood, an upscale housing and retail development that will generate much-needed
property tax revenue for the city while helping to transform our Allingtown neighborhood
into a true college community," West Haven Mayor Ed O’Brien said.
Phase II of the development, The Forest, will be constructed on site of the old Forest
Theatre at the intersection of Forest Road and Boston Post Road and is scheduled to
open in June 2018. It will feature 62 residential units and 18,000 square feet of
retail space.
Phase III, Park Place, will be built on Cellini Place across from the Allingtown Green
and is scheduled to open in June 2019. It will include 50 residential units and 16,000
square feet of retail space.
The project is being spearheaded by the Acorn Group, which is chaired by David Beckerman
’66 A.S.
"I am grateful to David Beckerman for bringing his unique vision to this project,"
added Mayor O’Brien. "I think it’s transformational for Allingtown."
