NTU ADM Building Structural issue (Bird strike the building) called for fund raising?

Am I reading this right? TBH some buildings in NTU does have structual issue.
NTU Hive and GAIA is because of SG weather that the building can get condensed.
Hive is water leaking on raining days you can see waterfall and classroom all became icy room.

For GAIA building because of it's wood structure there's moulding issue.
Than ADM also have structual issue that birds strike the building because of the glass panel.
However students raise fund raising for structural defect?

Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with fund raising but it does question about management .
MRT can build within NTU permises but structural defects call for fund raising?
Than why school fees so ex, can cheaper or not for those who did the fund raising?

It is the trend now.
Build the fancy building with lots of money first.
Figure out the maintenance fee later cos it is not my problem any more.
Same thing will happen to T5 which is having radio silence so far.

everyone just follow trend and start using glass
faster to build and looks nice initially
later found it came with greenhouse effect for occupants and other issues

So these glass type designs are LPPL designs ah......

The glass panel can reflect the blue sky really well, so the stupid birdies thought it was really the sky and ram themselves into it.

Leaking water and mould aren't exactly structural issues.

Exactly not the first for NTU case.
ADM, Hive than GAIA.
Looks nice but got issue.
