Part of an Academic Building Collapses at North Dakota State U.

North Dakota State University is investigating what caused part of a four-story academic building to collapse on Sunday, leaving dozens of professors’ offices exposed, The Forum, a newspaper in Fargo, reported. Engineers are exploring whether they can attach a crane to structural beams to keep the roof intact, and possibly allow employees to retrieve books, computers, and other belongings. The university expects to reopen portions of the building that are deemed safe when classes resume on January 11.
