Unfortunately, the storm caused major disruptions at the Rose Hill campus, including widespread flooding of lower floors. The University deployed facilities crews and pumping equipment overnight. The locations most affected were the basements of Duane Library, McGinley Center, and Walsh Library (the basement of which will require substantive remediation, and that floor will remain closed until Tuesday, at least).

There was no significant damage at Lincoln Center: we experienced minor flooding in the lower floors of McMahon Hall and 140 W. 62nd Street. Some elevator shafts were flooded: they have been pumped dry and are undergoing inspection prior to being put back into service. There were no injuries to students, faculty, nor staff.

As always, members of the University community should take local conditions into account when traveling to or from campus. In an emergency, please call Fordham Public Safety at (718) 817-2222.
