Thunderstorm leaves LCC dealing with damages
Water cleanup took place across campus
Issue date: 6/4/09 Section: News
The thunder and lightning storm that rocked Lane County the evening of June 2 left some areas of Main Campus in need of cleanup and repair.
Members of Public Safety, Housekeeping, and Facilities Management and Planning worked through the storm Tuesday night in an attempt to alleviate the water damage.
On Wednesday, faculty and staff were asked to report water damage to FMP. FMP director Dave Willis asked LCC employees in an e-mail to report any of the following: "wet ceiling tiles, wet carpet, wet books on shelves, wet spots on the floor, or standing water in any spaces."
Willis cited minimal leaks in Buildings 4 and 5 due to roof repair. "This is a tribute to the extremely good work and preparation for wet weather by Mark Richardson (LCC Project Coordinator), his staff, and Umpqua Roofing," Willis said.
Overview of water damage
Building 3, Room 110: flooded, wet boxes
Building 4, Room 201: nearby restroom, room 252 flooded
Building 5: dance studio flooded
Building 6: a leak noted in the chorus room and south entrance
Building 16: a leak noted near the south entrance
Building 17: Media Arts flooded, especially in the computer lab where 2" of standing water was discovered on the carpet
Building 19: water noted entering the building near the loading dock
