Small amounts of mold found in some UofL dorm rooms
Small amounts of mold have turned up again inside some University of Louisville dorm rooms.
In 2012, mold was found in three residence halls.
Half of the rooms were gutted and cleaned.
Since then, the university has been doing weekly checks in the older dorms.
They found minimal amounts in Unitas Hall two weeks ago.
Dozens of students moved to other dorms for a couple days while the rooms were cleaned.
The remaining rooms will be cleaned during fall break, which is next week.
“The reason we're cleaning the whole room is there was some on the walls, some on some of the furniture. But we didn't want to clean it with the students in the room because we didn't want to stir up spores and worry the students that we were getting it on their belongings. So we made a decision to do a full cleaning of those rooms,” said Shannon Staten, director of housing.
UofL is covering any moving expenses, including boxes and other supplies.
