(WXYZ) — Wayne State University leaders say they've discovered elevated levels of Legionella in the Old Main building.
The building's cooling towers have been shut off to prevent an outbreak. Officials say there will be no air conditioning or cooling fans in Old Main during this time, causing the temperatures to be higher than normal.
The cooling towers are expected to be turned back on in the next two or three days.
Signs of Legionella bacteria were first discovered at WSU last June on the rooftop cooling tower of the Student Center building. Testing began after a WSU employee, and two contractors working on campus, were diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease.
