Classes return to Cardwell Friday:
K-STATE'S CARDWELL HALL GIVEN THE 'ALL CLEAR' FOLLOWING AIR QUALITY TESTING
MANHATTAN -- Air quality tests were normal for Cardwell Hall at Kansas State University, said Steve Broccolo, emergency management coordinator for public safety. Safety officials gave the all clear for the building and it was reopened at 1 p.m. today.
All classes in Cardwell Hall will be back in their normal locations Friday morning, said Al Cochran, assistant provost.
Cardwell Hall was closed Tuesday at 9 a.m. to test air quality in the building
Cardwell Hall is one of the buildings damaged in the recent tornado. Workers had to replace parts of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system in the building. The closure was a precautionary measure to be sure no asbestos was in the air, Broccolo said.
