Peabody Hall Sustains Water Damage; Some Offices Have Relocated

A recent dip in temperatures is to blame for extensive water damage to U.Va.’s Peabody Hall. Water that is brought into Peabody Hall for heating or cooling the fresh air ended up freezing, causing several coils in the air intakes to burst. As the ice thawed, water began pouring from the ceiling. Some offices, including U.Va.’s Dean of Students, have been moved to temporary spaces within Peabody Hall. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed. Full story.
