BATON ROUGE - Water was flowing from the fourth floor down to the first level of Patrick F. Taylor Hall after a pipe burst due to freezing temperatures. 

A video shared by Balcony Bengals showed the moment a portion of the ceiling caved in and water surged onto the floor.

Classes were canceled in the part of the building that was flooded. 

We are aware of a busted pipe in PFT, which has impacted a section of the building. Because of this, we are canceling classes in the section of PFT affected. Students should check with their professor to find out if their class will be held this evening.
