Tim Johnson, Director of Residence Life, said, “We are so pleased that the university has taken on the major commitment of upgrading and enhancing our residential facilities. By renovating our older halls we are not only providing a safer living environment, but we are bringing modern comforts, amenities, charm and larger living spaces to the older facilities.”
Renovations will include new heating, cooling and ventilation systems, plumbing and restroom upgrades, a new fire protection system, electrical and technology upgrades, renovated lobbies and finishes upgrades and new furniture.
“Basically, we are leaving the structure in place, and we are upgrading everything else,” said Joyce Jones-Myers, on-site project manager.
The renovations are expected to be finished before classes resume in the fall semester.
