Abilene Christian University confirmed Wednesday that a fire on campus late Tuesday was on the roof of Moody Coliseum, which is under renovation.
Abilene Fire Department crews responded to the 800 block of Coliseum Way at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release.
There, they said, flames were visible on the upper area of the event center.
The fire was extinguished, the department said, and damage was minimal, with an estimated value at $5,000.
ACU spokeswoman Wendy Kilmer said damage was limited to materials. The fire was related to construction, but no structural damage was reported, she said.
What effect the fire has on construction progress was not immediately known.
UPDATE (4:15 p.m. Friday, March 5): Abilene Independent School District officials said Friday that COVID-19 mitigation protocols will remain in place despite the Gov. Greg Abbott s new executive order to open Texas 100%.
In a statement, district spokesman Lance Fleming said the goal of the school district every day is to provide a safe and healthy environment for both students and staff. We will continue to maintain our current health and safety protocols throughout the rest of the school year, the statement said, in part. This includes the continued use of face masks for all students and staff. As we move through the final weeks of school, we will continually evaluate our procedures to determine if there are additional ways to provide opportunities for our students and staff while continuing to maintain our existing health and safety protocols.
