By Emmet Jamieson A pipe connected to Memorial Union’s sprinkler system burst because of cold temperatures Thursday, filling the lower level of Bengal Lair with several inches of water. The pipe, located behind Starbucks near Memorial Union’s east entrance, burst at around 10:15 a.m. MU News Bureau Director Christian Basi said that because the leakage came from the sprinkler system, the fire alarm went off automatically, prompting students to evacuate the building and summoning the Columbia Fire Department to the scene. A maintenance crew came to fix the issue. They repaired the pipe and cleared the area by the afternoon, though Starbucks remained closed for the rest of the day.
