This is one of our pillars in the cafeteria. The hole is about size of a hand, fingers spread. It goes in about 5 inches in. It’s been there for as long as I can remember, and each year the size grows for the lack of maintenance. The tile is falling apart around it, causing the pillar to not be very stable. The pillars which hold this school together are falling, how long will it be until the school falls too?
