GRAMBLING, La. (AP) — Woodson Hall at Grambling State University will close for at least two weeks while repairs are made, including asbestos removal.
Flooding that occurred earlier this year caused damage to parts of the building. Tracy Wright, director of university communications, tells The News-Star (http://tnsne.ws/1FT62eg) that the school hired PAC to conduct air quality tests on the building, and the results show no hazards.
PAC will make repairs including removing tile, mastic and carpeting. Wright said when the work is complete, the university plans another air quality test to ensure everything is within state and federal guidelines.
Wright said Leon Sanders, vice president for finance and administration, and King Godwin, dean of the College of Science and Technology, are working together to relocate classes and staff offices.
