Around 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, the High Rise dormitory on Lipscomb’s campus was evacuated after a pipe had burst on the first floor. As of 7:47 a.m., High Rise has reopened to residents. All classes at the university are cancelled until this evening. The 5:00 p.m. block of classes will take place as scheduled. President Dr. Randolph Lowry says he was informed of the situation around 3:30 this morning. “I am so pleased how our campus has responded to it,” Lowry said. “This is a very complex campus. Students have been great. Very sorry to mess up their night, but we will have free Starbucks in the campus center for all High Rise residents.” “The key administrators were here quickly,” he said, “and we believe we have covered the contingencies and will be back to normal shortly.” From Lipscomb’s main website: Update 6:25 a.m. At 1:45 a.m. this morning a water pipe near High Rise Dormitory ruptured and has affected water service to parts of campus and will continue to do so at points during the day as we work to resolve the issue. We are very sorry for the inconvenience. For the safety and comfort of our students we are making the following accommodations: University classes are cancelled until 5 p.m. Evening classes will take place as scheduled. High Rise residents will be able to retrieve necessary belongings on an escorted and as-needed basis. Faculty/Staff offices are open. Employees are to report to work as usual. Please note: When the total water system comes back on, fire alarms will be activated. To guarantee safety, please observe fire safety...
