I don’t believe Monroe was renovated after Katrina. Monore was almost completely intact, no flooding and very little window breakage. S was a freshman who’d moved into a 4th floor dorm room that weekend.

As a matter of fact, any freshman who had moved into the dorm the day of the evacuation had all their stuff moved into the gym. This was to make room for the Belcor employees who essentially did all the clean up and flood remediation on the campus. However, later, in spring of 2006, there was a fire up on the higher floor and several rooms were affected, and lots of carpeting replaced from all the fire hoses.

Since then, however, I have no idea what happened in Monore…S moved onto the really awful sophomore housing in Irby. Now THAT was a building that needed renovations!!!
