People who work in that building are always sick with respiratory illnesses. Many suffer from migraines and severe headaches. A few people who worked in the building that had bad coughs (that would not go away) when they moved on to other jobs and left the build the coughs went away after a few weeks. My own Dr said it is a sick building. Though the State will never admit it.report abuse

If I remember correctly, this building was built back when the State was having another "budget crisis" and it cost something like $8 mill to build. Shouldn't have been built in the first place... another poor choice of spending by the State.report abuse

If this issue has been around for a long time, could it possibly have been a design error or a contractor installation error? If so, is there recourse at this time against either of the parties, instead of the State paying the bill?report abuse
