A tweet from Ryerson University reported that there was a “steam leak” in Kerr Hall.
“A few of the heads of the department and other figures came around telling us that it’s not a drill and we have to evacuate and we were standing outside and they told us you need to move from the door as well,”said Irda Hajdari, a fourth-year architecture student.
“They thought it was an explosion but it wasn’t,” said Powell.
He said the repair time depends on what type of pipe burst.
Ryerson’s Facilities and Management Development did not respond to a request for comment in time for publication.
