Duke University Hospital

The Duke North (DN) main lobby will reopen Monday morning with normal entry operations, following a clean water flooding incident on Friday night.

Employees, patients, and visitors, please note:
- The tunnel from Parking Garage II is currently open to employees; it will open for visitors Monday.
- The lobby elevators will not stop on the 2nd floor. Visitors and patients should take the Atrium elevators to the 2nd floor.

Until Monday, continue to follow posted signage to alternate entrances.

Duke University Hospital is recovering from a plumbing line issue that caused a clean water flood in the Duke North front lobby. All employees, patients, and visitors should follow signage and use the Emergency Department (ED), Duke Medicine Pavilion (DMP) or Duke Children’s & Health Center (CHC) entrances until the area is cleared for safe use.

This issue has not impacted patient care or the safety of any clinical areas, inpatient hospital areas, or surgical services.
