This morning's water main break outside Laurentian University's Fraser Auditorium is also causing a number of other issues on campus, said a press release from the university.

Currently, the JN Desmarais Library is without water, the press release said. There will be water issues across campus until this issue is resolved. During this period, the university requests staff, students and visitors use the washroom facilities in the adjacent buildings (e.g. Classroom and Arts.)

Food services at Starbucks, Alumni Hall and the University Club will not be available today until the water main repairs are complete. Hours of food service locations can be found by visiting www.dineoncampus.ca.
