Maintenance came in over the week (on the 14th) to patch the insulation,
they installed new insulation on the pipes, only for it to start leaking
again the next morning.
Because of this, the next morning (on the 15th), Maintenance sent in
someone else to look at the problem. This person found that the problem
was not a failure of insulation on the cooling lines, rather a hot water
line next to it had developed a leak and was dripping out water at
>140F. He cut away some of the insulation, so that the water no longer
flows along the insulation and drips into the room, rather the leak now
flows onto the wall.
He said that at some point over the next few weeks, another crew would
come in and replace the 20ft long hot water pipe.
Net result: My room still looks like the previous picture, with the roof
tiles off. Added change being that we've moved out the computers that
were under the leak, since changing the pipe is going to involve water
splashing around the room.
I'm not sure when they are going to be getting around to fixing it. The
maintenance guy did say that since the semester has just ended, they
were very busy fixing things across campus that had been postponed due
to classes in session.
