“This is a delicate removal of the second floor to review if the first floor is salvageable,” MACU reported on its website. “Current expectation from the insurance company is to rebuild the middle section of Heritage Hall and try to salvage the end sections and first floor of the building.”
Leaders at the Elizabeth City, N.C., school say they are concerned weather may have caused further damage to the building in the three-plus months since the roof’s collapse. Discussions with the insurance company and consultants are ongoing.
Heritage Hall MACU’S main classroom building partially collapsed on Saturday, Sept. 5, as roofing work commenced. The weight and distribution of replacement shingles may have contributed to the collapse. The roof fell into MACU’s three largest classrooms; fortunately the incident occurred when those rooms were empty. No one was injured. Heritage Hall has been closed since the collapse.
