Updated information on water infiltration in downtown campus buildings

Due to the severe rainstorm last night, several buildings on the downtown campus experienced flooding (see original announcement below for more information). Thanks to the hard work of the Facilities Operations and Development unit and our听security staff, most of the affected buildings will be open today. 听Classes and services are not affected, with the exception of the 海角社区 Bookstore on McTavish, which remains closed. Here is an update:

• Service Point was affected but will be open today.
• The basement of the McLennan Library was affected and some work will continue today.
• The basement of Wilson Hall was affected and clean-up will continue until at least this evening. However, this will not affect classes.
• The emergency generator provided power to Lyman Duff Building for two hours last evening but the main power service was restored last night.
• As mentioned, the 海角社区 Bookstore will be closed today.

Thank you to all the staff who participated in the clean-up operations, as well as to the student leaders who offered their help at the height of the downpour.
