Major storms at the end of April and beginning of May covered campus in a thick sheet of rain which caused lower levels of the Carroll Science Building and Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation to flood on April 26.

In a deluge of rain like the one Baylor campus received on Friday, it is not uncommon for flooding to occur on streets, sidewalks and buildings.
“Fifth Street floods just from the age of it,” said Brian Nicholson, associate vice president for facility, planning and construction. “You’ll notice when you go up and down Fifth Street there are not storm drains at all, so when it rains, the water goes down the street all the way to Waco Creek. That’s the primary reason for the flooding.”
