LINCOLN – The smell of gas inside Lincoln High School’s newly constructed culinary department prompted a call to the Fire Department and the evacuation of students and staff, leaving members of the project team wondering what went wrong.
Upon further review by members of the project team, it was determined that there was an issue with the automatic shut-off valves associated with four gas range stoves. The valves will need to be repaired and replaced, at a cost of $18,000.
The LHS Building Committee learned last week that the recently installed gas fittings in the culinary wing weren’t to specifications, the latest in a long string of issues with the LHS renovation project.
