During the evening of June 5, 2013, a significant water-main break occurred at the construction site adjacent to the Students' Union Building at the University of Lethbridge's main campus.

As a result, major flooding occurred in the Library and the University Centre for the Arts.

Due to the immediate extent of the flooding, classes in the Library and the Centre for the Arts scheduled for Thursday, June 6, 2013 have been cancelled. Classes located in buildings other than those affected by the flooding are taking place as scheduled.

Employees who work in the Library and the Centre for the Arts are asked not to access their workspaces until further notice.

Students, staff and faculty are also encouraged to watch their uleth.ca e-mail accounts as specific information pertaining to class schedules, university services and recovery efforts will be shared in the coming days. Email service for faculty, staff and students has been fully restored.
