SEH shut down after water line break

Updated: Feb. 10, 2016 at 6:35 p.m.

The Science and Engineering Hall will be remain closed to most students and faculty Thursday, according to a campus advisory.

Some chemistry classes will be held in the building and faculty who have offices and research labs in the building will be allowed to enter between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., according to the advisory. The building closed Tuesday after a main water line broke, according to a separate campus alert.

The advisory did not say when the repairs would be complete or when the building would be fully reopened.

Students and faculty will be required to enter the Science and Engineering Hall using the 22nd Street entrance and check in and out with University Police Department officers, according to the advisory.

Classes scheduled to take place in the building Thursday will be held in alternate locations, the release reads.

A construction crew damaged the main sprinkler line while working on the building’s seventh floor and water leaked into the main stairway and surrounding areas. Water, power and GWorld access were shut off in the building on at least Tuesday.

Classes and labs in the Science and Engineering hall Tuesday and Wednesday were cancelled.
