United States. The University of Maryland's Diamondback student newspaper revealed that the microbiology building of the school campus is experiencing continuous sounds and vibrations which have been linked to a decaying and corroded heating and cooling system.To fix the problem, the university arranged for $2.3 million to repair the HVAC system and replace rusted equipment. "We need to start right now if we want to fix the problem at the end of the summer. That's why this project was declared urgent," said Jack Baker, director of operations and maintenance.
Due to the conditions of the building several students have refused to carry out their practices there, due to the sensitivity of the microscopes. HVAC systems are extremely vulnerable to corrosion and if they are not protected the damage can be very costly.
