Structural Inspections and Safety Measures
Following a partial walkway collapse at MU’s University Village apartments on Feb. 22, which resulted in a fatality, the university initiated comprehensive structural inspections of all university-owned buildings. The structural engineering company has been examining all of the university buildings during the past month. These inspections included residential buildings like Tara Apartments.

Findings at Tara Apartments
The company inspected all university-owned residential buildings and prepared a report dated Feb. 23. In that report, the engineers note that no distress was found on the back decks of the building, but there were “isolated areas” where “the end connection is irregular.” The company did some work on one unit at Tara, but no other problems were observed, and there was “no need for remedial action.”
Student Perspectives
Colin Chastain, an MU student subleasing in the Tara Apartment complex, said he thinks it’s “a good thing” that the university is inspecting the decks after what happened at University Village. Chastain had hoped to renew his lease, but the university is reserving spots at Tara for University Village students displaced by the demolition of their apartments. Temporarily closing the back balconies doesn’t bother him.
University Village Demolition and Student Impact
The University Village apartments and the Student Parent Center housed in the same complex will be demolished this summer. This decision has implications for students and their families, particularly those with children who rely on the Student Parent Center for day care.
