Injured student released from hospital

Thursday, December 10, 2009

A student who injured her hand last Thursday evening while working in the Marvin Hall craft shop has been released from the hospital and returned to her hometown, according to friends.

The student, who friends say is a female junior in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported by the ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and later to the University of Kansas Hospital, for treatment. A police dispatch indicated, on the evening of the accident, that the student said she had suffered the injuries to a hand, and may have severed three or more fingers.

“Our hopes and prayers are with the student and family,” John Gaunt, dean of architecture, design and planning, said in a statement released by the University.

Friends said the student returned to her hometown for further treatment after being released from the hospital this week. They said the student planned to return to the University for the spring semester.

“Students who use the shop are advised of proper procedures in use of equipment in the shop area and are supervised at all times,” said Jill Jess, University spokeswoman.

The Web site for the school says the main architecture shop is in 109 Marvin Hall and houses “large tools, table saws, welding and other large items.”

The University statement said administrators plan to review the incident and determine whether any additional safety measures are needed.
