SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Several University of San Diego students were forced to leave their on-campus residence building early Tuesday morning after a sprinkler was damaged in a unit.

At around 2:30 a.m., residents at Cuyamaca Hall woke up to water coming in through the ceiling and windows.

Campus police officers helped students get out of the building as firefighters worked to shut off the water.

USD officials said 11 students impacted by the incident were offered temporary housing.

The school’s facilities team is working with contractors to look into any other damage caused by the broken sprinkler.
