Students hoping for hot bagels were disappointed Thursday when the Einstein Bros. Bagels at the Hub was shut down because of plumbing problems.
The mainline pipe became clogged, and the stopped-up water flooded the floor, said Art Wade of the University Physical Plant Division.
The physical plant also shut the water off in the Hub on Thursday afternoon to prevent further flooding, Wade said.
The flooding began Wednesday night, causing the restaurant to shut its doors for the day, Wade said.
Einstein Bros. Bagels was the only restaurant affected because it’s located at the lowest point of the Hub structure, Wade said.
The physical plant responded and shut down the women’s restroom to gain access to the clog.
By 5 p.m., the clog had been cleared, and Einstein Bros. Bagels only needed to be cleaned up before reopening.
