A number of workers in a UW-Madison building say they've been plagued with breathing difficulties and burning throats because of mold problems.

UW leaders say the mold apparently developed in the basement of Ingraham hall last winter as water leaked from a deli above it.

They've been trying to solve the problems, but they acknowledge the fixes haven't worked.

Cleanings will continue.

In the meantime, university leaders have found alternative workspaces for some people who have complained.
