Broken water line closes Lipscomb U. classes
NASHVILLE (AP) - Lipscomb University in Nashville has cancelled classes because of a water line break.
A mechanical room at a men's dormitory was found flooded early Thursday and the building was evacuated as a precaution, according to WKRN -TV (http://bit.ly/wMQbRd ). No student living quarters were believed to be damaged. Those students were directed to a campus arena for bathroom and shower facilities.
Since repairs were causing water to be shut off to several buildings, classes were called off for the day.
When the break was discovered, water was 10 feet deep in the mechanical room.
About 4,000 students attend Lipscomb.
