Flood in Curtis Hall
Posted by Jordan Osecki on 23 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: The Drexel Beat
There was a flood on the 3rd floor of Curtis Hall this morning at 5:11 a.m. due to an air conditioner chiller water line that broke. A DPS officer was conducting scheduled security rounds and noticed water and notified University Facilities maintenance engineers.
The water line break was due to corrosion of the pipe. The water was able to make it down to the second floor and into several offices and classrooms. There was no major damage, but some personal belongings in offices were damaged.
The pipe was fixed by 9:00 a.m. and air conditioning was fully operational in all of the building shortly after that.
