Due to concerns about flooding, which according to current models could exceed the 100-year flood level (10 to 50 cm of water in the area of the Sladkého and Bří Žůrků dormitories in Brno-Komárov at the peak of the flood on Sunday, which could lead to water and electricity cuts), the MU Security Emergency Board decided to evacuate students who have already moved in as a precautionary measure. These students will be moved to other MU dormitories on Friday 13 September or, if this is not too inconvenient for them in terms of transport and personal situation, they will be asked to return home temporarily.
As a precautionary measure, Masaryk University is also postponing move-ins to all MU dormitories operated by the Accommodation and Catering Services and is asking students to postpone their arrival if possible. All details will be emailed to those who have planned to move in over the weekend.
There are currently no restrictions on the arrival of foreign exchange students.
New facade, thermal insulation and windows at Vinařská; renovation of roof terraces at Bří. Žůrků or ongoing two-year modernisation at Kounicova – Masaryk University is paying a lot of attention to regular maintenance of all nine dormitories operated by the Accommodation and Catering Services (ACS). Tens to hundreds of millions are invested into renovations or small-scale repairs annually.
In spite of increasing costs, Masaryk University is not planning to increase the accommodation prices as such. The rent in 2025 will only reflect the inflation rate according to the data published by the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO).
