Nicole Mitchell opened the door to her room in Buckley and was met by a stream of cold air. She is not alone, as a number of students have placed calls to their complex offices and to the Department of Residential Life regarding a lack of heat in their rooms. "This whole semester had been an inconvenience because the heat isn't working," said Mitchell, a 6th-semester psychology major. "It's upsetting that I have to pay all this tuition and I have to sit in my room with four layers of clothing on."
Students were called out of their rooms at about 6:45 a.m. after a sprinkler pipe burst in the dining hall. As a result, the dining hall was closed all day. According to Dennis Pierce, associate director of Dining Services, a sprinkler pipe broke at about 6:45 a.m. and began to flood the dining hall floor, causing the cancellation of breakfast at the dining hall. Pierce said there is a certain protocol followed when a situation like this occurs. The UConn Fire Department was called in to assess the situation as well as Environmental Health and Safety.
