Water, water everywhere

Evan, a researcher, was overjoyed when his lab moved from a creaky old building plagued with bursting pipes to the brand-spanking-new Center for Life Science Boston near Children's Hospital. He's not overjoyed anymore:

This past Friday night, a pipe burst near the office hallway, leaving 2 inches of standing water in the entrance/eating area on the floor and affecting nearly every office space and part of one of the labs (thankfully, not my own lab room).

The flood affected the 10th and 9th floors the most, but repairs are underway on the 8th, 7th, 6th, and 5th floors, as well. ...

And then there are all the cracks in the lobby, the sidewalk that had to be replaced, the out-of-order elevators and the depressing number of birds that die when they fly smack into the reflective-glass building.
