West Pillar Entrance
It was discovered that the west pillar, one of two pillars that supports the roof section above the main entrance, was leaning east and lower than the other pillar on the east side of the front entrance. It was noticed that the landscaping river rock between the pillar and the front of the Fitness Center Aerobics Room was depressed and lower than the rest of the rock in the area. It was also separated from the front foundation section of the main building.
