Flood, asbestos closes Avery
By Matthew Waite
Senior Reporter
The release of several hundred
gallons of water into Avery Hall late
Wednesday night, and the discovery
of asbestos in the debris, closed the
building for classes today.
Richard Hoback, University of
Nebraska-Lincoln maintenance man
ager, said human error caused the
flood and an estimated $100,000 in
damage.
The damage in Avery was con
tained to the west wing of the build
ing, where chemical engineering
classrooms and offices are housed.
Floors were wet, ceiling tiles were
damaged and several rooms were
blocked off with asbestos warning
signs on the doors.
Hoback said the most expensive
damage was to several computers
that were in| offices and to the ceil
ing of the chemical engineering de
partment. He said along with the
clean-up, many ceiling tiles would
have to be replaced.
The flood in Avery was the result
of a change at the chilled water plant
at 14th and W streets, Hoback said.
He said the chilled water pipes that
go to all city campus buildings were
drained and refilled Wednesday
morning, except for Avery, which
was forgotten.
Hoback said the Avery pipes were
not filled until Wednesday evening.
He said a valve was left open in the
attic of Avery, causing the flood.
There are nearly 100 buildings
and 300 valves on city campus,
Hoback said, with a trained staff of
eight to check them.
Hoback said the air in the building
was being tested for asbestos, but
results of those tests would be de
layed until the samples could be sent
to New York.
The geography and journalism
wing of Avery, which was not dam
aged, could be re-opened as soon as
Friday, Hoback said. However, he
said, the chemical engineering wing
would not be open until Monday or
Tuesday.
More investigation would have to
be done to see if more asbestos would
have to be removed from offices,
Hoback said. He said if more remov
als were needed, they would not de
lay the opening of the chemical engi
neering wing.
