Edinboro U. science building damaged by fire

EDINBORO, Pa. (AP) — A fire did minor damage to a heating and air conditioning unit on the roof of a science building under renovation at a state-owned university in northwestern Pennsylvania.

Nobody was hurt in Sunday night’s fire at the Cooper Science Hall at Edinboro University.

Firefighters used tarps to keep water from reaching computers and other equipment inside the three-story building. Edinboro fire Capt. Bryan Sheeder says the damage was limited to the HVAC unit in the fire reported about 6:30 p.m.

Officials say classes won’t be interrupted because students are on spring break this week.

The renovation project began in January and is expected to take two years. It includes adding a new greenhouse and geothermal heating and cooling system to the building.
