When it rains outside Middleton Library on LSU’s campus, it rains inside, too. A group of employees with offices in the basement know to bring their rain boots in heavy storms because the water creeps downward, penetrating the walls, dripping through the ceiling lights and pooling around their feet as they walk around their office space. They are conditions unbecoming of the state’s flagship university’s library. But it’s also emblematic of the $510 million backlog of renovation and improvement projects that are needed to bring LSU’s historic campus up to date. http://theadvocate.com/news/14767907-125/maintenance-at-lsu-severely-lacking-after-years-of-budget-cuts
