Staff, students complain of foul odor in the Student Services Building
Reports of a strong, unpleasant odor in the Student Services Center have staff and students concerned about the origin of the smell and whether it is harmful.
Assessment Center Administrative Coordinator Jessica Forbes said because the Assessment Center is in the back of the building, close to the four bathrooms, the Health Center gym and the cafeteria, is it hard to tell where the rancid dry rot smell is coming from.
“In the summer when it is really hot, I think the smell is amplified to where it is unbearable,” Forbes said.
Forbes began working in the Assessment Center a year ago and noticed the smell as soon as she walked into the building, she said. “It doesn’t affect our business of having students coming into the Assessment Center. I just think it looks badly on CNM having a foul smell around the Student Activities Center”, she said.
