Burst water pipes in the Stewart Biological Sciences Building

February 6, 2023

To all users of the Stewart Biological Sciences Building,

Extreme temperatures over the weekend caused water pipes to burst in the Stewart Biological Sciences Building. Please do not report to this pavilion this morning; we are working to remove the water and secure the premises in anticipation of your return.

  • Classes: Classes that were scheduled to take place in this pavilion before 12:30 p.m. today will be held online whenever possible. Classes that can only take place face-to-face will unfortunately be cancelled.
  • Teaching staff and other personnel: The teachers and the administrative and support staff stationed in this pavilion are asked to work remotely this morning, unless their superior deems their presence necessary and can offer them a another place to do their work. Staff who cannot perform their duties remotely will be compensated for the period they were unable to work on site.

I will keep you informed of the evolution of the situation.

Thank you,

Pierre Barbarie
Senior Director, Protection and Prevention Branch, on behalf of the Emergency Operations Center
