Accident at Smith Conservatory
Early Saturday morning, an individual from Hartford (not a Smith student) fell through the glass roof of the Lyman Plant House, in the area designated as the Cool Temperate House. Fortunately, he was not alone and someone was able to call for help. While he survived the fall, he severely injured his arm to the point where it nearly needed to be amputated. The Director of the Botanic Garden, Michael Marcotrigiano, was informed of the accident at about 5 am by the authorities who reported to the scene. Dr. Marcotrigiano commented that he believed the person had dropped his phone between the green houses and was trying to get to it when he fell.
