The discovery of mold in a vacant office in the basement of Labry

Hall at Cumberland University has led officials to close the

building, which is home to the Labry School of Business and

Economics.

School officials said today that classes regularly held in Labry

Hall will be relocated to other locations on campus.

According to Cumberland University President Dr. Harvill C. Eaton,

officials at the university discovered the mold in its early stages

and decided to close the facility as a safety precaution. The

facility was inspected this afternoon by university-hired

environmental experts, who estimate the analysis and remediation

process will take approximately three weeks.

Labry hall was built in 2002. It incorporated portions of Cumberland

University's old gymnasium, which was built in 1936.
