Hello Riddell Faculty staff and students,
I hope you weren't too cold waiting for an update! The recently set off fire alarm has been inspected by the firefighting crew that came by. They've let us know that it is now safe to return to the building, and you can resume whatever you were working on before.
If I hear more information about the incident, I'll be sure to send updates.
Thanks,
