Portland State University spent $1.23 million to repair its library after a four-day occupation by pro-Palestinian protesters with ongoing costs still expected.
Despite the damages, the library's books were largely unharmed, indicating a focus of the protest on the building's structure rather than its contents.
Cris Paschild, the university archivist, noted the complexity of the library, stating, 'This is a big building. It's five floors and it's a little maze-like.'
University officials indicated that additional repairs may be necessary as they continue to discover issues in the building since its reopening on September 16.
