EvCC's Marysville Cosmetology Building Reopened
Building Closed Friday as Precaution
EVERETT, WA – Everett Community College's Marysville cosmetology building reopened May 4 after being closed on May 1.
The building at 9315 G State Ave. in Marysville was cleaned over the weekend, then reopened for classes. The building was closed on Friday after a cosmetology student reported feeling ill. The student told her instructors that she may have been exposed to swine influenza A (H1N1) virus from a family member.
Everett Community College has notified the Snohomish Health District and its students, faculty and staff about the reported illness via its emergency communications channels – text message, EvCC's website, college main phone number (425-388-9100) and Schoolreport.org.
The cosmetology student who reported feeling ill has not been to any of Everett Community College's other locations recently, including the main campus in north Everett. All other EvCC buildings, programs and services remain open..
EvCC's cosmetology program includes 50 students and five faculty and staff members.
