Oaks residents return to leaking ceilings

By Michael Papich

Some students who moved back to Elon University’s campus had an early surprise, as the ceilings in the Oaks D building leaked rainwater into many of the structure’s apartments. Leaks were seen primarily in the third and second floors of Oaks D, although Robert Buchholz, director of Physical Plant, said there were some leaks that reached the first floor. Buchholz attributed the leaks to the way the roof on Oaks D was constructed. “It’s at a place where the face of the building juts out, so the roof had to adjust to being an angled roof and they didn’t do a good job with that one particular spot,” Buchholz said. This angled construction, as opposed to a flat roof, allowed for more places where water could seep through. “You usually have to make an adjustment on the pitch on the roof and it’s two uneven angled pieces and so it leaked there at that joint,” Buchholz said. Junior Katie Maraghy, a resident on the third floor of Oaks D, said the damage from the leak was visible as soon as she moved into the apartment. “When (my roommate and I) first got back from summer break, there were pieces of our ceiling all over the common room floor,” Maraghy said.
