Parts of the first and second floors of River, a dorm on 114th, are flooded after a sprinkler head broke off in Room 205 around 2:15. The rooms around 205 had soaked carpet, and water had leaked through the ceilings into rooms 105, 102 and 103. Facilities was vacuuming the water out of the second floor common room and said that there wasn't much damage other than students' clothes getting wet. A Facilities employee said they weren't sure if the sprinkler head was broken or broke off on its own, but students were wringing out their clothes in multiple rooms. Check back for updates.
