On July 23rd at 8:08 am, Summer Session II students were unable to access the cafeteria, nor any of the other facilities, in the CC building after it was evacuated by the MC Rockville Security due to a leak in the gas line. While reconstructing the sidewalks, contractors hit an undetected gas line, according to Christopher Karp, the Plant Maintenance and Operations Supervisor. His team was able to shut off the gas within the hour, but had the firefighters on site as a precaution. The building reopened at 9:04 am. Karp was unable to estimate how much longer it would take for the repairs to be complete or how long it would delay the construction. Debra Hayre, the Safety and Security Advisor for MC Rockville Security, explained that due to the gas being turned off, the cafeteria were compromised and would only serve cold foods. However after the building was reopened, MC Munchies was open for business and accommodated the hungry masses as best as it could. Thanks to the Security and the construction team working together they were able to prevent any injuries and have the building reopened as quickly as possible, preserving the safety of students and faculty.
