A flood caused by a blocked sink in a third floor kitchen in Derwent K block has forced all block residents into alternative accommodation.
The flood took place in the early hours of the morning on Friday February 26.
The Fire Brigade arrived on the scene at 05:28 after a second floor fire alarm was activated.
Water from the third floor flowed through the building damaging the building’s fire detection panel but has since been repaired.
The water also flowed into some students’ bedrooms and leaked through the celings of second floor bedrooms.
It is not known when the cleanup operation will finish however the University estimates residents will be back in their rooms in less than two weeks time.
