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.
Increased capacity and higher chances for first-year students – that is the improved reality for students in this academic year. Even more beds will become available once the major renovations of the Kounicova dormitory are finished before the start of the next academic year, and new student housing projects are scheduled at the Vinařská complex or in the Bohunice campus.
The Security Emergency Board of Masaryk University decided on Thursday, 12 September, to carry out preventive evacuation of the dormitories at Sladkého and Bří. Žůrků in Komárov, where some students had already moved in. According to original estimates Brno was to expect 100-year flood and the situation on the Svitava River in the Komárov area was expected to include the flooding of the dormitories and power and water outages. For the same reasons and out of security concerns MU decided that the move-in day at all remaining dormitories be delayed.
