FORT CARSON, Colo. — Five barracks under construction at Fort Carson are being tested for mold after spores were discovered in least one of them.

The mold was found this summer during an inspection of modules that are fabricated elsewhere, transported to the post and then stacked to form the buildings.

Fort Carson spokeswoman Dee McNutt said Monday all the buildings in the $135 million project will be tested and any required remedy will be completed before ownership is transferred to the Army.

The contractor for the barracks, Hensel Phelps Construction of Greeley, said the mold problem has been remedied.

Hensel Phelps President Jeff Wenaas said the mold grew after some of the modules got wet during transport.
