After mold and mushroom growth was discovered in Lawrence Tower, causing the university to relocate approximately 500 students for spring semester, residents are voicing their lingering concerns. Students were given three options for new housing: change room assignments before Dec. 1, finish the semester in Lawrence Tower and relocate elsewhere on campus after winter break or receive a new spring assignment and/or housing contract release to move off campus by Dec. 13, according to Lawrence Tower’s frequently asked questions regarding mold-related protocol. In documents obtained by The Lantern Nov. 15, independently conducted PriorityLab tests revealed significant mold growth in 27 of the 28 Lawrence Tower dorm rooms assessed, with an amount of spores that was “too numerous to count accurately,” per prior Lantern reporting. Dave Isaacs, university spokesperson, said the removal of students from Lawrence Tower is not correlated to the PriorityLab testing.

Say goodbye to guessing whether or not the North Recreation Center’s basketball courts are available for open play. Ohio State Recreational Sports launched its “open recreation” calendar Aug. 12, said Shea Ryan, assistant director of scheduling and special events for Recreational Sports under the Office of Student Life. Ryan said the updated calendar showcases different types of sports, time slots they are open for play and the specific locations they can be played at on the Recreational Sports website. These information categories can be filtered by location, time and activity so students can easily consider the gyms closest to them and/or the particular activities they want to try, Ryan said.
