Shell track remains closed after pipe rupture

Officials are still uncertain about the exact source of a pipe rupture that flooded the track and basketball courts at the Shell Sunday, Recreational Sports Director John Horn said.

The Camp Randall Memorial Sports Center, more commonly referred to as the Shell, closed Sunday night when a pipe that is embedded in the concrete floor ruptured. Students were cleared from the building and the facility remains closed.

There are two plumbing lines running underneath the Shell, and officials will try to determine Tuesday which one is the root cause of the leak, Horn said.

Rec Sports is currently working to create a Master Plan that would renovate campus facilities that are all outdated by 30 or more years, Horn told The Daily Cardinal in September. Horn said there is a possibility renovations to the Shell may be controlled by the Athletic Department rather than Rec Sports.
