The Madla Building was flooded Nov. 3 after a water heater broke on the second floor around 11 a.m. Parts of the second floor, including the College of Education and Human Development office, were covered in an estimated 1 inch of water, and water poured from the elevators and ceiling on the north side of the first floor. The Enrollment Services Center has been temporarily closed, and classes in Rooms 208 and 210 were moved to other rooms Monday and Tuesday. Blackmon Mooring is extracting the water and assessing the damage, said assistant facilities director Steve Remy.
