In January 2010 , the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated much of Haiti caused considerable damage to the town of Petit-Goave , followed by a 5.9 magnitude aftershock centered directly below the town . Due to good construction techniques , the school suffered little damage ( only a crack in the parts built under Harry 's watchful eyes ) . The computer lab , which was built around 2008 above the school 's auditorium , by Haitians , went down to dust . The unfinished computer lab had not been built to the same Brakeman standards as the rest of the school , and was destroyed in the quake and aftershocks
