The Challenges of the Midwest Climate
Iowa State University’s expansive campus faces a variety of seasonal challenges tied to Ames’s Midwest climate. Harsh winters often bring frozen pipes and ice dam issues that can lead to significant water damage in dormitories and academic buildings. Spring thaw and heavy rains increase the risk of flooding in lower-lying areas, while hot, humid summers can contribute to mold growth and HVAC strain across large facilities. Additionally, Iowa’s frequent thunderstorms and occasional severe weather events pose risks of wind damage, roof leaks, and power outages—complications that require fast, expert restoration to minimize disruption to campus life and learning.
