Damage to K-State estimated at $20M following overnight tornado
Wichita Business Journal

"Among the buildings at K-State sustaining damage were Cardwell Hall, Ward Hall, Burt Hall, and the engineering complex.

"The Wind Erosion Laboratory, which had been located near Weber Hall, was destroyed.

"Ward Hall houses K-State's nuclear reactor. Although Ward [in the heart of campus, just north of the Power Plant] itself was damaged, because of the design of the building, the reactor remains safe and unharmed, said Mo Hosni, head of K-State's department of mechanical and nuclear engineering."
