As the risk of flooding in Brno has diminished, the Masaryk University Security Emergency Board decided today that students who had been evacuated from the Bratří Žůrků and Sladkého dormitories in Brno-Komárov as a precautionary measure can now return. About 500 students received an email from MU on Tuesday afternoon, in Czech or English, informing them that they could return to their rooms from that time until Thursday noon at the latest.
All dormitory buildings are safe, inspected and repaired, and students can count on full electricity and water supplies. It has also been decided that those who have not yet had the opportunity will be able to move into their dormitory accommodation from Friday morning, 20 September.
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).
