The North Carolina State University, University Archives Reference Collection, Poe Hall PCB Contamination Collection contains archived websites from 2023 about Poe Hall’s PCB contamination issue. In 2023, environmental testing was conducted in response to a complaint about health and safety hazards in Poe Hall. Bulk sampling in October 2023 detected the presence of toxic chemicals and PCBs, and Poe Hall was closed in November. This collection is not comprehensive, but focuses on coverage by NC State's student-run Technician and Nubian Message. This has been an evolving situation and the collection of documentation in this collection continues as more information about Poe Hall becomes available.
