SUBJECT: Window Replacement Kuehne and West Hall - Project #C05052

DESCRIPTION: Kuehne Hall was constructed in 1979. West Hall was constructed in 1981. The windows are original to the structures and are metal clad wooden. A portion of the interior wood is rotten. None of the windows have bug screens and the locking devices are broken or missing. At this time, the windows could be opened from the outside causing security issues within sleeping areas for the students.
