GracieGirl posts a very valid fact about the Savannah Center. We have lived here almost 3 1/2 years and the musty odor has been present since our first month (July 2009). It got worse when the carpets were updated and thoroughly cleaned the last time. The floor-drying fans are an almost constant "decoration" in the hallway and in most of the large meeting rooms. The main production (show) room isn't too bad but the floors aren't carpeted so the dampness wouldn't have a place to linger and mildew as much. Not certain what the issue is but it reminds me of buildings I used to work in up north that would get wet during rainy season due to roof leaks. The carpets and pads would get wet and never dry thoroughly. Then the mildew/mold smell would linger and linger until the carpets were changed throughout the building - a very expensive proposition.
