The Australian National University is closed today after Acton copped a deluge yesterday. Overall Canberra had 50mm on Sunday, with more lakeside and in the north and further falls expected overnight. The university advises staff and students no libraries will open today and classes and events are cancelled. “The closure is to ensure the safety of all students and staff as the university conducts essential safety checks on infrastructure including bridges, creek banks and electrical switchboard.” However the University House hotel and function centre and child care centres will open.
