Found this in the TU emergency plan.

The dorms have zero back up except for emergency lights.

Co-Generation

With the installation of the co-generation unit in the power plant, emergency power is provided to selected buildings on the uptown campus. The unit provides just over 4000 kW of power, a little less than half of the university’s total power demand. Therefore, only a select number of buildings are capable of using it as a direct source of power.
The following buildings are on-line for receiving power from the co-generation unit when power from Entergy is lost during a hurricane:

 Reily
 Bruff Commons
 Telecommunications
 Stern Hall
 Lindy Boggs
 ESB (freezers only)
 Lavin-Bernick Center (LBC)
 Facilities Services
 Power Plant
 Diboll (TUPD only)

2 Uptown Emergency Generators

The following buildings are served by fixed emergency generators as indicated:
Administrative Hurricane Plan 2012

 Reily
 Wilson Center (emergency lights only)
 Diboll (TUPD only)
