Lots of folks housed in the Fine Arts Building complain about the air quality--mold in the vents, etc. It's been impossible for them to get anyone to take them seriously. The performing arts center is not quite so back, but it is impossible to get any fresh air in--no windows.

Just wait till they move to the old Hattiesburg High School building.

Huh? The residents of the FAB are moving to Hattiesburg High? Did I miss something? Is polymer science taking over Fine Arts?

There was lots of talk about that on the message board when USM's real estate moguls planned to put Nursing in the old Albertson's building and use the old HHS for art.

It's true actually -- the design has essentially been completed by Albertson. Not sure exactly when the construction is due to start.

Well, you know the old saying: "If you can't join them, move them."

I've been thinking about this matter. Does it really make sense to be moving programs or students off campus when enrollment is falling? There are a couple of vacant floors in the Trent Lott building.

I am not completely sure if I understand the thread here but the Albertson's building is not being prepared for the school of nursing.  We are stuck in the "sickest" building on campus.  We don't get the chance to have allergic reactions to antibiotics since none work on us, our immune systems have pretty much caved and we are all pretty much resistant to all but the heavyhitting antibiotics (you know the ones, 5.00 per pill).


Anyway, "allergy to antibiotics" is usually a code for "undisclosed illness" in medspeak.  Sort of like being admitted for "exhaustion".


We are resigned to being in this building...nobody is listening to our pleas, teeming agar plates, etc.  Put up, shut up or leave.  And breathe easier when you get out of the Harkins building for good.

HBFlo, the word on the street is that he had an allergic reaction, but a life-threatening one involving intubation, and damn near died.

If these illnesses are caused by the workplace--a "sick" building--can those affected file their medical claims under workers compensation?

The architect for the high school is Larry Albertson.

I think his name is Larry Albert...not Albertson.
