There are hundreds if not thousands of design issues with that facility. They are too numerous to mention, but I'll start with them not using security caulking plus the glass block and the mortar used to secure them. The mortar holding the place up is suspect at best. Clear coating CMU block without filling the porous surface. Leaking water pipes throughout. The lower pod showers not being usable due to water pouring thru the concrete above filling the light fixtures below creating an electrocution hazard. The concrete itself being unsound. The plumbing systems being woefully inadequate and poorly installed. Mechanical passageways not constructed correctly. It goes on and on and on. It was built haphazardly, and with very little 3rd party inspection, if any. A frightening amount of the construction was done out of sequence, which didn't allow subcontractors to complete their work properly.
They've been working on it for 31 years, and it started before they moved in and it continues to this day. The facility has never been right. The design firm let the GC get away with things that most people wouldn't allow in the construction of a storage shed, and the tax payers have footed the bill ever since.
