This is a brand new university campus, built on a plateau at the top of a hill. Our understanding is that the campus is all new, built within the last three years. However, the campus has been abandoned following the earthquake, with students being distributed among other national universities. Walking through several of these buildings indicates no structural damage. However, the cladding consists of thin reinforced concrete wall panels as previously discussed.
Many interior walls are unreinforced brick.
Cracking occurred in many of these partitions and exterior panels. Generally, cracks were small, but on occasion, they were larger Damage was also seen in the suspended ceiling system used. Reportedly, the university administration preferred to remove students and plan the repair activities, rather than have them in place during the planning and repairs. As sunset approached, we arrived in Puli. Interestingly, this fairly large city has suffered as much damage as any city we have seen thus far.
