Residence halls will open at 8 a.m. and dining halls will open at 10 a.m. Students who evacuated to Juniper-Poplar Hall at the Tampa campus will be transported back to St. Pete Sunday morning, according to a university wide email sent Saturday afternoon.

Faculty will return to campus and most buildings will be opened for their normal operating hours beginning Sunday. 

The Tampa and Sarasota-Manatee campuses reopened Saturday, but USF did not offer an update on the St. Pete campus until later. 

Three buildings, including the Piano Man building and Special Services building on the northeast corner of the campus by the Pelican residence hall and One Fifth Avenue South building on the west side of campus, will remain closed, according to the email.

The email did not say when the buildings would reopen.

Spokesperson Matthew Cimitile previously told the Oracle several buildings were affected by flooding but did not specify which ones. None of the three buildings are immediately on Bayboro Harbor.

The operations of the three closed buildings will be relocated, but more information will be shared later, according to the email.

People were also asked to avoid parking near the College of Marine Science to make room for the “ongoing cleanup of debris in the area,” according to the email.

Several areas on campus were riddled with leaves and sticks and sidewalks were caked with mud immediately after the storm.

Hurricane Helene made landfall closer to the panhandle, but the west coast of Florida was battered by wind and rain throughout the end of the week. St. Pete campus residents were told to evacuate prior to the storm, according to an Oracle article.

An area near campus experienced over six feet above average high tide around 12:30 a.m. Friday.

Students and faculty were urged to use caution when traveling to campus and to contact instructors or supervisors if they cannot make it back to campus by the start of classes Monday.
