Colleges share lab space and equipment with SUNY Canton in wake of fire
Canton, NY, Feb 17, 2012 — SUNY Canton chemistry professor Ken Erickson says he's a Saints fan for life.
Erickson says his college's science labs will be closed at least until the end of the semester after last week's fire. But St. Lawrence University is offering lab space on its campus to help out the neighboring school.

Erickson says he’s amazed by their generosity.
"I can’t say enough about what they’ve done for us….they’ve been falling all over themselves just to try to help. They’ve gone above and beyond."
Canton college classes were canceled this week because of the fire. Most will re-start Monday. Chemistry and biology labs are scheduled to begin in St. Lawrence’s Bewkes Hall on March fifth, after spring break.
Erickson says they will complete the semester there, and possibly stay longer, depending on how quickly testing and repairs are completed at Canton College.
He says SUNY Potsdam is also helping out during the interim, providing microscopes and other equipment.
Arson has been ruled out, but no cause has been determined for the fire.
