Water leakage has caused visibile water damage in some dorms on campus. University Court 6C has had ceiling tiles replaced repeatedly over the course of the semester, according to residents in the building, suffering the same problem of water soaking through the ceiling tile from above. After the most recent ceiling tile broke, fell and was removed, the ceiling was left open, revealing the visible water damage ocurring to the structural elements in the ceiling. Facilities has been contacted repeatedly and multiple representatives have denied knowledge of the damage, despite the damage ocurring over the course of ceiling tile changes Photo: Melanie Perez throughout the semester.
