"In a week's time, one dorm closed and three others on the University of Louisville\u2019s campus are being evaluated due to significant mold.Almost as quickly as the problem grew, the cleanup began.Late last week, 270 students were forced to move out of Miller Hall because of mold. Officials also found mold in three other dorms: Threlkeld, West and Wellness halls.National Environmental Contracting was hired to clean Threlkeld.\"Mold contamination here is not nearly as severe as we've had in the other building,\u201D said Neil Stamp with NEC.While Miller Hall is closed due to significant levels of hazardous mold, the cleanup has already begun and students are still living in Threlkeld.\"In this particular case, we go through the individual rooms, do some HEPA vacuuming with a high-efficiency vacuum cleaner, vacuum those areas up and wipe them down with a disinfectant,\u201D Stamp said.The industrial disinfectant is an EPA-registered cleaner that uses an ammonium chloride base. It's proven safe to use near students and their belongings.\"So we set up a schedule with the students and with each floor on when to expect that we'll be in their rooms and they've been asked to do some things like clear their desks off of all their personal belongings so we can get to the desks,\u201D said Shannon Staten, the director of UofL student housing.On Thursday and Friday, there will be rolling room closures for about four hours each, going floor by floor, to make room for cleaning crews.\u201CWhen they come back, it will have a nice, pleasant smell and things will be cleaned up,\u201D Stamp said.The cleanup at Miller Hall is going to be on a much larger scale. It's a big problem and university officials still have to figure out how that problem can be resolved.Officials said it will take time and it's going to take finding out the culprits to the mold.To help deter the continued growth of the mold in the older dorm rooms, the university has decided to replace the massive air-conditioning units in Miller and Threlkeld halls."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
