The Dairy/Microbiology building has visible water damage caused by leaks from the roof and second-floor lab sinks.
First and second floor ceilings are stained and missing tiles. When it rains buckets scattered through the building to catch dripping water.
Now that the leaks have been fixed, the tiles should be replaced.
The Dairy/Micro building is one of the most visited places on campus, so it should be kept up. SDSU has the right idea by giving potential students ice cream, which is one of the best parts about attending SDSU. But if those potential students have to go into a building that isn't kept up well, then it won't leave a good impression with those students, no matter how good the ice cream.
SDSU has a positive image throughout the state and the Midwest. But something like unkept buildings could hurt that image, which in turn could have a negative impact on the university.
If the problem is human error, then it should be easily taken care of. It's understandable that there are some problems that aren't always easy to correct. But when that problem is in one of the most visited places on campus, it should become a necessity to figure out the problem and fix it.
SDSU is a beautiful school and its building should exemplify its beauty - not contradict it.
