Memorial University’s St. John’s campus University Centre is a no-go zone due to a broken sprinkler that caused havoc, emptying the building and shutting it down temporarily on Saturday.
A tweet from Memorial University’s account said that the central campus site is closed until further notice.
The source of the flooding was a sprinkler head going off in a cooler. Clean up is happening and the building should reopen soon, according to the university.
Custodial staff were in the process of cleaning up the water and only staff were allowed in the centre.
