The portable does not appear to be in use as a classroom. An isolated area of drywall to the bottom left of the door (ramp side) was wet per use of moisture meter.
Building Services started removing impacted items (i.e. drywall, insulation, sub floor, door thresholds) and made some repairs, such as addressing deck at door (eliminate rain from pooling and entering under door), installing gutters above doors, and installed and sealed exterior lights at doorways.
The work became time consuming, thus a contractor was brought in to complete work which is in progress of being completed before the start of the school year.
