The humidity and heat during the University of Minnesota’s move-in caused a mold outbreak in Frontier Hall this fall.
Mold was found in 16 rooms, and students in half of them had to move out. Some students said they were concerned about their health, and those displaced aren’t sure when they’ll be able to move back into their rooms.
Connie Thompson, assistant department director of Housing and Residential Life, said there have been minor reports of mold problems in the past, but nothing of this scale.
