oh wow, I hope folks are ok. Do you know which building it is??
One where folks would be?

I think this was not in an area that affected Randy if my recollection of the Pratt buildings serves me correct.

It looked like Higgins Hall from the top of the building, but I could be wrong. many of the Pratt buildings look alike based on the architecture of the time.

I called his cell - no answer, so if anyone hears, please let everyone know.

Gladly no one was in the building and no one was injured.

I think it was the tall building behind the security checkpoint.

I don't think it's near where Randy's tank are, the learning center, I think it's closer to the other side of the campus.

Randy, I have a generator and gas if power is turned off at campus and am home if you need.

Randy, I just saw the news, i really hope this isnt affecting your systems at all. if a generator is helpful to you, I do have one (never used) i got after Sandy. You are welcome to pick up from Manhattan Beach if necessary. I hope all is ok.

+1 from Randy not his building got a text 6:57 am. The anenome lives on!
Glad to Hear Randy! We will be in the area maybe this weekend. Would love to see how it is doing. I will PM you with R&D emails we set up to monitor changes and progress in clients tanks and would appreciate a monthly snap shot even off a phone camera. Again glad to hear you and your building are not affected.

Aside from the potential losses in the senior art studios, Randy reports that all systems are fine. He'll be online to report back personally.

Wow, glad he and family are alright, hope all other PRatt faculty, staff and students are alright too. (and of course thankfully the tanks are fine).

 

[prattreef]

Hey Everyone. Thanks for your concern. My family and Tanks are fine. The fire was 2 buildings over and confined to the 6th floor and roof. No one was injured, but the building has serious damage. The worst hit of course were the students who had their work lost in the fire. In some cases, years worth of irreplaceable hard work.

I'm actually heading out of town later today, so updates will be few and far between, but again thanks, we are fine.

 

[skene]

glad everything is ok. it is unfortunate that an ordeal like this has happened and the loss of work is irreplacable, but if everyone still is ok... that's all that truly matters.
