A fire has broken out on the roof of the new Academic Building on College Ave. The building, which has not yet been open for classes, was supposed to be open for use by the Fall 2016 semester. Fire trucks and personnel have been deployed.

There is no official word yet on how the fire started or if the building will suffer any setbacks for the August 2016 ribbon-cutting ceremony.

An eyewitness told The Tab: “It looks like firefighters are putting it out now. Looks like it started on the roof.”

We will add more information as the story develops.
