After yesterday’s fire in Esslinger Hall, things are back to normal this morning at the UO Student Rec Center.

According to Bryan Haunert, associate director of facilities, operations and services at the Rec, the building is open under normal business hours today.

“We are up and operating at regular capacity. All programs and hours and everything are on normal operating procedures,” Haubert said.

A small fire in Esslinger Hall last night set off the sprinkler system at the Rec at approximately 6 p.m. The water damage from the sprinkler system led staff to close the building for the rest of the evening before opening it again today. The cause of the fire has not yet been released.
