Biographical / Historical Notes

The Printing Plant fire (in a building now known as Cascade Hall) occurred on July 13, 1992 and was attributed to a roofing project. No one died in the conflagration. Printing operations were temporarily housed in the West Dining Hall pending the renovation of Cascade Hall. At the time of the fire, the printing plant was called the Industrial Building.
