Downfall of the Downs

This school year has held plenty of criticism from students, one of the most talked about being dorm issues.

The complainants have ranged from problems with parking to suspicious issues involving dorm cleanliness.

Recently, the biggest inconvenience in Downs Housing has been the hot water, well, the lack thereof. For the past month the 811 building hasn’t had fully hot water. Since about two weeks ago, hot water was completely inaccessible and in the process of trying to resolve the issue, water was shut off completely.

The problem is being actively worked on, and a greater outcome is expected to come soon. In the meantime, maintenance completed work orders in a timely manner while getting the job done.

In the end, a fix to the problem would be to reconstruct Pacer Downs since many of the issues could be coming from how aged the building are.
