Campus Loses Power; Fire In Computer Lab

August 30, 2010


Mike Topliff, director of the Computer Center, or TCC, said room 15 in Speare Hall will be closed for gutting and restoration over the next few weeks.

 

Facilities Management assistant director Jim McLain met with an insurance adjustor and a cleaning firm Monday. Rockefeller Cleaning and Restoration of Albuquerque will begin the clean-up process Tuesday, Aug. 31.

All 14 computers, a copier and other equipment was deemed a complete loss. The ceiling tiles and sheet rock walls will also be replaced.

None of the other rooms in Speare Hall were damaged; however, some ceiling tiles in adjacent rooms will be replaced.

Speare 15 is a student computer lab that did not house any classes.
