Posted Friday, Dec. 16, 2:28 p.m. The University is working with Washington Gas to contain a gas leak in front of Ivory Tower.
Tracy Schario, GW’s director of media relations, said the University learned of the gas leak within the past two hours and notified Washington Gas. The University has closed off the 23rd Street side of the building between G Street and Virginia Avenue.
Schario said because the gas leak is occurring outside of the building, possibly emanating from a manhole, students are still being permitted to enter and exit the Ivory Tower. She said the University will continue to monitor the situation.
