If you, or someone you know, have plans to be in the state capitol today, Wednesday, February 12, 2020, here’s a heads up: Many downtown Lansing state offices are closed today due to heating concerns.
All Department of Technology Management and Budget-managed buildings in downtown Lansing are closed today, with the exception of the Lottery Building, due to an unexpected problem with steam delivery from the Lansing Board of Water & Light. The steam delivery issue has caused an inability to properly heat the facilities in many downtown Lansing buildings.
DTMB-managed building closures include:
- Austin Building
- Cass Building
- Constitution Hall
- Grand Tower
- Hall of Justice
- Hannah Building
- Mason Building
- Michigan Library and Historical Center
- Ottawa Building
- Romney Building
- South Grand
- Van Wagoner Building
- Williams Building
Leased facility closures include:
- Business and Trades
- Capitol Commons Center
- Landmark Building
- Phoenix Building
- Victor Building
You are encouraged to follow Michigan.gov on Facebook for updates regarding the heat situation in Lansing.
