Over 8,000 students are currently enrolled at UHCL. Many students said that they are proud of their campus but mentioned that there are things they’ve seen that need to be restored. These photos were taken during a 2-hour tour of UHCL. The photos include SSCB, Bayou, Delta and Arbor buildings and are only a sample of what was found during the tour.

Though some of your pictures are of areas that repair it would have been nice if you would have looked a little deeper into the problem before posting. Some examples are the doors that was taped off in Bayou was under repair. The elevator in SSCB was out of service while the repair company worked on it (1/2 day) and the sign in front of parking that was hit by a hit and run driver the day before has since been repaired (within 3 days). The ceiling tile in the library was there due to active work being done in the area and the exposed wires and tubing in the Delta is due to a vending machine being replaced. Please go the extra mile next time you report and check into thing before posting. They are sometimes not what they may appear.
