From staff reports
The Medical Science Building, Unit II, at 1137 Catherine St., suffered extensive damage due to a water leaking from a broken 8 inch main from within the structure.
Water flooded up to four inches in several of the building's lower levels, leaving the area without power and elevators inoperable.
The water was found at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning by the University's security service. Crews are still scrambling to return the building to full operation.
Estimates of the damage were unavailable, but it looks to be a costly problem, said University Department of Pubic Safety Lt. Douglas Swix.
"There so many areas involved, it probably will be expensive," Swix said.
