It’s business as usual, more or less, at the National Arts Centre after a wooden block fell from its newly refurbished ceiling Saturday.

An area of the NAC’s upper floor remains cordoned off after the wooden block fell, said NAC spokeswoman Rosemary Thompson on Tuesday. The block measured 15 cm by 15 cm by 20 cm and is one of 367 spacers used between the decorative triangular panels in the roof.

Maintenance staff have checked about 130 of the other spacers and haven’t found any loose ones. All 367 should be checked by Thursday, she said.

The blocks are fastened in place with wood screws. It’s not known why the block fell, Thompson said. No one was injured.

All entrances are open as is the box office, she said. The NAC was to present a performance by guitarist Jesse Cook Tuesday night in Southam Hall.

The NAC celebrated Canada Day by officially opening after a $110-million renovation, including a new entrance and glass atrium on Elgin Street.
