[USAO-Robertson] Mold issue in housing

[Bobbie Shores]

Many of you may already be aware that there have been reports of mold in our housing facilities. At this time, there have been confirmed reports of mold in 2 apartments in Lawson Hall.  The safety, health, and well-being of each and every resident is a matter of utmost concern for the University and the Department of Housing and Residence Life along with Maintenance have been working together to address the issue.

Housing and Maintenance staff have been working to thoroughly remediate the mold. We have taken a number of steps to address the issue, including relocating the residents to different apartments, hiring contractors who specialize in mold remediation, conducting inspections of rooms that have reported service requests, cleaning all surfaces, and cleaning or replacing furniture.

We recognize and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern this has caused our residents and their families. We appreciate our community's patience as we continue to respond to residents' facilities and maintenance requests. We encourage all of our residents to report facilities questions or services requests to https://usao-gcgxy.formstack.com/forms/maintenance_requests.

We will continue to provide updates directly to affected residents on our work related to our remediation efforts as needed.



Forever GREEN and GOLD,
