After week off for insulation campus whistle again tooting
The campus steam whistle may have startled students yesterday when it again began signaling the start and end of classes.
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations, said the whistle was rebuilt over the summer because a pipe that connected the steam boilers
to the whistle had exposed uninsulated lines, which created a work hazard for employees in the University's power plant.
"We had a few days of insulating to do in order to get the pipe insulated so it was safe for people to walk around," Riat said.
He said workers in Facilities Operations still had more insulating to do but felt enough had been completed last week to get the whistle up and running.
The whistle was built in 1899 and has signaled the beginning and ending of classes since 1912.
