Jim Modig, director of Design and Construction Management, points out a section of damaged tiles on Watson Library’s roof. Damaged sections of Dyche Hall’s roof are visible in the background. The majority of roof damage caused by last year's microburst has been repaired, but work continues on many buildings. Some factors, including winter weather, slow delivery of roof tiles and finding replacements for tiles that are no longer manufactured have slowed progress. However, Modig said, the goal is to have repairs completed by late summer.
