Over the first weekend of January, a large wind storm swept through campus toppling over a large tree.
The tree was located on the PLU golf course. It fell onto the Columbia Center roof. It left a small amount of damage to the side and top of the building where it landed.
“There doesn’t appear to be much damage,” Crew members said. Crews worked through the week to remove the tree. PLU landscaping and management crews said they called in an outside team to come take the tree away.
“It wasn’t a healthy tree. We guessed the root system had been compromised,” the crew said. Many unhealthy trees have already been taken out for safety and upkeep. According to the work crew, “this tree was on the list of trees to remove this year.” The tree is now gone and repairs will start soon.
