Counsellors were brought in to NAIT‘s main campus in north Edmonton Monday after a student was injured in a fall in the school’s atrium.
Frank Landry with NAIT said the fall happened at around 10:55 a.m. in the main atrium of the Centre for Applied Technology.
Landry said the student was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.
Classes in the building were cancelled for the rest of the day, affecting about 1,000 students. Classes will resume Tuesday, Landry said.
Because the fall happened in a public building with students present, Landry said counselling would be available to anyone who wants it.
