To the William Paterson University Community
This morning, Monday, August 29, we received notice that a contractor working on a renovation to the road that connects Lot 6 to the Science Hall East and West buildings damaged a natural gas line. As a precaution, students, faculty and staff in several buildings on the main campus were temporarily evacuated. PSE&G was on the site immediately, sealed the leak and repaired the gas line. Students in the residence halls for various functions, including athletes on campus for pre-season practices, will be safely back in their buildings at 7:30 p.m. on Monday.
Thank you to everyone on campus for your responsiveness, support, and patience.
I am pleased to report that we are on schedule and ready to welcome students and families Tuesday, August 30, when check-in for the residence halls begins. All campus offices, academic and other buildings, will be open as usual and all events scheduled for Tuesday will take place as originally scheduled.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Waldron
President
