Mold Continues to Plague NCCU as Cost of Removal Soars
CHAPEL HILL, N.C.
The cost of repairing mold-infested buildings at North Carolina Central University could be millions of dollars more than expected and is draining NCCU resources, a state university committee learned last month.
There are indications that fixing the problem could cost much more than the $10.4 million allocated last month by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors.
The estimated cost then of ridding one wing of a 4-year old, $14 million residence hall of mold was $355,000.
