During the evening of Tuesday 12 November, Venice experienced an extremely high tide, second only to the historic high tide of 1966.
Usually the island does not suffer significant impact from high tides, but on this occasion, the main building has been flooded, and there is structural damage to a perimeter wall.
The public boat service to the island is not operating as the dock has been damaged.
VIU is working with San Servolo Servizi and the Ca' Foscari International College to restore services to the students on campus.
Students should check their email for updates.
