5: k f Thr. DeMoura expressed a concern about groundwater which seems to be corning up. it is evident in the tiles on the first floor, some are lifting in the cafeteria and there is water underneath. Paul does not think it is a groundwater problem. The concrete is still drying most likely. The second floor can breath. It is a natural situation of a new building.
