This afternoon there was a fire in the Social Science Centre. There were no serious injuries and the fire has been extinguished. The building remains closed until further notice.
Students with upcoming exams in the building will receive updates from the Office of the Registrar. Faculty and staff should not enter the building until we confirm it is safe to do so.
We will keep you updated as conditions change.
