Update Sept. 1, 4:20 p.m.
The university can confirm that elevated levels of carbon monoxide were found in the Ian Stewart Complex after the building was evacuated.
Three staff members were assessed for carbon monoxide exposure on the scene. Out of an abundance of caution, one staff member was transported to hospital for further assessment.
We cannot yet confirm the source of the carbon monoxide, but we believe it’s related to a zamboni malfunction. It was not related to ammonia used in the ice rink.
