UNO's main campus on Lakeshore Drive
|
| Science building basement had power, fiber
and controller network for the AC/heat controls, and phone. The fiber network
for the campus computers was on the first floor so was not flooded. The
basement flooded all the way to the ceiling. This is part of the power.
Even though they are very hard to see at the top, there are many water lines
from the top down. As the water was being pumped out, it would stay at one
level for a while. Each water line represents a different time when the
water stayed at that level for a while. There was lots of small debris on
the ceiling the first time we saw this area. These pictures are after it
was cleaned by the remediation crew. Note the water line in the glass of
the window of the far left unit. We were not able to get into here to help
with the fiber until mid December 2005 (3-1/2 months after the storm). |

| All the phone services for the building
went through here. |

| Fiber
and controller network for the AC/heat controls |
|
|
| When the remediation began all entrances
to the building were shut off and plastic with duct tape blocked each door.
A warning note was usually posted on all the doors. Most times extremely
hot air was pumped into the building to kill and dry out all the mold. |
|
|
| The notes were rarely signed. |
