In the interest of campus safety, we want everyone to be aware of two separate incidents reported to the University of Iowa Police Department.

An investigation determined that radiant heat from the sun reflecting onto the stainless-steel exterior caused the underlayment materials to smolder. The area has been covered with a nonreflective material as a temporary measure, and regular visual inspections will continue until more permanent solutions are put in place.

No injuries were reported. Foul play is not suspected, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Iowa City Fire Department. A damage estimate is not yet available.
