Classes being held on the east side of the Cooper Physical Science building were cancelled Monday after a water pipe broke earlier in the day.
Senior media strategist Marc Ransford said there was no major damage in Cooper and that similar occurrences happened in the following buildings:
- College of Architecture and Planning
- Art and Journalism Building
- L.A. Pittenger Student Center
- Arts and Communications Building
Equipment in Cooper was damaged and years of professor's work was flooded.
Lab manager for the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Terry Hunt, expressed some of his concerns in an email:
- Ceiling tiles and particles continue to fall even after the water has stopped flowing
- Equipment being used before it dries out
- Cooper’s support structure
- There are active, physical and radiological monitors currently being conducted on the spills in Cooper. These monitors, he said, haven’t expired or concluded.
Despite damages, all classes scheduled in the Cooper Science Building will resume Tuesday — including the east section — according to a university alert issued Monday evening.
Ransford said the university is currently waiting for associate vice president for facilities planning and management Jim Lowe to asses the damage and send a report.
