MIT Student Sent to Hospital After Midnight Fall at Wellesley College

An MIT student's fall of about 14 feet inside a Wellesley College student center building resulted in a midnight trip to the hospital.

The student was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; his condition is not known at this time.

Sgt. William Bowman of Wellesley College Police said the plunge took place about midnight Saturday inside the Lulu Wang Student Center; he said there was no event taking place place when the fall happened.

Bowman said the student fell from the third-floor level to the second-floor level inside the new and quite contemporary Wang building. That would be about the equivalent of falling from a second-story level.

Bowman said there would likely be followup to determine how the incident happened.
