A section of ceiling has collapsed at Perth, Australia's, new children's hospital. The hospital was supposed to open nearly a year ago, according to an article on the WA Today website.
Workers were working on the ground floor of Perth Children's Hospital when the ceiling fell down from the ninth floor. No one was injured in the incident.
A small section of plasterboard ceiling became dislodged. It was believed to be damaged by water during recent severe weather.
An industrial hygienist conducted tests to check for any other areas of water damage beyond what could be seen. Results of these tests are pending.
