The University of Maryland has made some efforts to improve the condition of its old buildings on campus. However, more can be done to solve this problem, and UMD should be proactive in retrofitting old buildings. To address safety concerns caused by mold, the University of Maryland must begin prioritizing the maintenance of its residence halls. Schools should hire air quality experts to conduct professional mold inspections to determine the presence of mold more accurately. In addition, to solve the safety problems caused by the absence of air-conditioning in some dormitory buildings, the school should pay attention to installing air-conditioning equipment in all dormitory buildings.Finally, The current UMD housing system allows students to request emergency repairs and report problems; however, the problem with these methods for older buildings is that UMD should take a more proactive approach, such as repairing older buildings with new appliances and equipment to renovate. It would reduce the number of emergency requests and give maintenance crews more time to deal with service requests. Therefore, UMD should take a more extreme approach to renovate its older building and provide a safer and more comfortable environment for all students.
