Dec. 19
On Dec. 18 at 10:50 p.m. heavy flooding was discovered in the Southwest side of the Engineering building on the St. John’s campus.
Remediation has started but the southwest side of the Engineering building will not be available for normal operations this morning. There will be an update at 11 a.m.
The source of the water intrusion has been found; a three-inch drainpipe failure which is now repaired. Large amounts of water are present and the damage is currently being remediated. Contractors have been working through the night extracting the water. The area will be ventilated and dehumidified as soon as possible. The affected area does have asbestos containing materials and an abatement contractor is involved in the response as well.
CEP is onsite and the areas affected are barricaded. These areas include the following rooms:
- EN-1041 to EN-1066
- EN-2008 to EN-2039A
- EN-3035 to EN-3075
- EN-4001 and EN-4026 to EN-4043
