Wednesday marked the third day students continued to occupy Siemens Hall at Cal Poly Humboldt. Barriers were reinforced, more tents were put up Tuesday and students collected gear for facing tear gas.
The occupation of Siemens Hall causes complex operational challenges that require the closure of other facilities on campus. There is a risk of other buildings being occupied, as protestors have shown a willingness to enter unlocked buildings and either lock themselves in or steal equipment.
The occupation is also having a negative impact on other students, who are trying to complete classes at the end of the semester. Protesters initially took furniture from Nelson Hall to form barricades.
