Some of this blog's long-standing, faithful readers may remember how long, long ago I used to post a series of images of the dilapidation of various parts of Rutgers University, especially Murray Hall, and the Union Street house in which I had my (much loved) office. Here's a reprise of a familiar theme, then ... Taper Hall at USC, where the flat roof on top of part of the Art History department has caused a number of problems during the last few wet days. Here's a ceiling tile, displaced to see quite what might lie behind it ... Early this morning, as the rain was still pouring down outside, the Office Manager and I patrolled one corridor of offices looking for spreading coffee-brown patches, bulges, and in one depressingly bad case, little pools of water on a desk top (we knew that offices leaks - it's not a permanent faculty room, right now). You don't want to hear the saga of Facilities promising to repair our roof, now, do you?
