Roughly 20 students at Point Park University found themselves in an unexpected predicament over the weekend when a pipe burst in Lawrence Hall, leading to their displacement.

According to a university spokesperson in an announcement obtained by WTAE, the incident occurred yesterday, and the students affected have been moved to alternative housing on campus. The extent of the damage has not been determined, and university officials are presently assessing the situation.

Moving to different housing locations on campus, it remains unclear how much damage the burst pipe caused or how long the repairs might take. Action News 4 is committed to providing updates as they become available. Meanwhile, repairs are underway with crews investigating the break since early this morning, but without a clear verdict on the damage extent observed by KDKA-TV, as seen in a report from CBS Pittsburgh News.
