Although repair work continues across campus, classes will open on schedule Monday at Kansas State University.

A June 11 tornado caused $20 million in damage on the campus and repair work is expected to continue for a couple more months.

But university officials vowed after the tornado to resume classes on time, and they say the university will be ready for the start of classes.

“Everything will be ready to run,” said Ed Heptig, director of facilities maintenance at Kansas State.

But students will see workers on campus awhile longer fixing roofs, finishing new walls and replacing windows.

The tornado, which also severely damaged the town of Chapman and killed two Kansans, roared onto campus after ripping into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house just to the west. It tore into Fiedler Hall and continued northeast to Ward Hall, where a nuclear reactor is housed.

The storm also damaged Cardwell, Waters and Bushnell halls before zeroing in on Weber Hall, destroying much the roof, shattering windows that surround the hall’s arena and flooding a hallway. Other parts of campus suffered less damage, Heptig said.
