Sprinkler breaks in Main Building

At 12:30 p.m. on Friday, a sprinkler head broke on the first floor of Main Building near the elevators, according to a statement made by University spokesman Dennis Brown.

Brown said the first floor North lobby area, including the elevators, will be closed for the remainder of the day but will reopen Saturday.

“The remainder of the building is open and functioning normally, and water is being supplied to the bathrooms,” Brown said.

Any person having difficulty getting up the stairs while the elevators are out of service should call 631-555 for assistance, Brown said.

“The building is expected to be back to normal [Saturday],” he said.
