Gas Leak on the Malibu Campus – Update #1

Posted on

Damage to the gas main line at the corner of Benton Way and Huntsinger Circle will take time to repair. While Southern California Gas is on-scene, they require a specialized team to complete the necessary work. This team is forecasted to arrive on campus around 4 PM, and their work may take several hours. The fire department remains on scene to continue to assess and prioritize safety.

Until the repairs are complete, the fire department will aim to allow traffic to pass through the intersection in groups every half-hour (for example, 4 PM and 4:30 PM). No other traffic will be allowed up to or down from Drescher until the repairs are complete.  

Cars should gather in advance of the half-hour marks at:

  • S – Lot, the main lot at the Drescher campus, to come down from Drescher
  • N – Lot, adjacent to the Baseball Field, to go up to Drescher

At this time, for the safety of our community, the following structures have been evacuated:

  • Eden House
  • Krown Alpha House
  • Shafer House
  • Lovernich Apartments
  • Fitness Center
  • The Mountain construction site

Human Resources is working with departments to facilitate the movement of employees from Drescher in groups according to this schedule as well. If you are working on the Drescher campus, consult with your supervisor for further instructions.

Further information will follow regarding events from event organizers and classes from each of the schools located at Drescher.
