Budget stretched too far!
Most people learn at an early age that they must take care of the things they have and live within their means.
Georgia Highlands College is showing signs of outspending its resources.
With two campuses in Rome and campuses in Cartersville, Marietta and Acworth, the strain on the college�s resources is beginning to show. The Floyd campus is showing signs of neglect.
For example, one of the ladies� restrooms on F-Wing is in bad need of a facelift. The carpet is old and dirty. It actually has a path that guides students to the stalls. On the edges, something that looks like mold is growing.
There are many ways to fix this problem. Steam clean the carpet or just take it up.
Also, the F-Wing and student center area on the Floyd campus is in desperate need of a roof.
It is very strange that although workers are patching spots and replacing ceiling tiles, the leaks still happen. Often the new leaks are seen in same spots where the just repaired old leaks were.
In contrast, the new campus in Cartersville features wireless internet throughout, a library with a very large fireplace and let�s not forget bathrooms that flush by themselves and automatic off and on switches for the sink faucets.
The administration of Georgia Highlands needs to get serious about building maintenance at the Floyd campus.
Growth is wonderful, but not when you can not maintain what you already have
