Winthrop U. Cancels Classes for Monday After Fire Damages a Classroom Building

Winthrop University has canceled all on-campus classes for Monday because of a fire that still smoldered under the roof of a classroom building on Sunday, 24 hours after the blaze was discovered, The Herald, a newspaper in Rock Hill, S.C., reported. The building, Owens Hall, is one of the institution’s newest, having opened in 2007. While the fire was primarily concentrated beneath the roof, officials expect that much of the interior will have to be replaced because of smoke and water damage.
