VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sending a crew to the University of South Dakota next month to evaluate a building that a former employee says has caused health problems for students, faculty and staff.

USD asked for a review of its response to complaints about mold in Noteboom Hall, a 70-year-old dormitory that has been converted to a speech therapy center.

Former USD employee Nancy Andresen has said working in the building gave her health problems. An analysis in 2013 concluded the Communications Sciences and Disorders Department should move out of Noteboom Hall, but the school says obtaining state funding has been a stumbling block.

USD spokeswoman Tena Haraldson tells the Argus Leader ( ) that the school will help the CDC any way it can.
