CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — Following a “catastrophic flood” at Snyder Hall over the weekend, approximately 450 University of Illinois students will be moving to alternative on-campus accommodations.
The university announced in an online statement that the flooding, which occurred on Sunday, severely damaged essential building systems, including electricity, elevators, water heaters, card access, and data infrastructure. Officials clarified that no personal belongings of students were harmed.
After assessing the damage, university staff concluded that repairs won’t be feasible before the semester concludes. Consequently, students will be relocated to new dorms between Saturday, March 21, and Monday, March 23, though they may not be paired with their current roommates.
