Updated Summer 2012 Renovation List

Due to the desire to complete more extensive renovations in Kentwood Hall than originally planned, renovations and updates to both the student rooms and lobby will be postponed until the summer of 2013.  This will allow adequate time to complete the renovations as well as coordinate timing with construction of the new apartments on Walnut Street.  Below is an updated list of summer 2012 renovations.

In an effort to continue to make improvements to our students’ homes, Residence Life and Services is currently planning for summer 2012 renovations.  Updates planned include:

  • Hutchens House student rooms — drapes, carpet, paint, new desk chairs and new kitchen table/chairs, new kitchen and bathroom sink countertops, improved air venting in bathrooms, renovation of ADA bathrooms for ADA student rooms
  • Hutchens House common areas — updates to finishes and new furniture on first floor, eighth floor, and basement, new front desk
  • Hammons House student rooms — drapes, carpet, paint, reupholster chairs, new kitchen and bathroom sink countertops, improved air venting in bathrooms, renovation of ADA bathrooms for ADA student rooms
  • Hammons House common areas — updates to finishes and new or reupholstered furniture on first floor and basement, new front desk
  • Scholars House — new carpet, base, and paint for hallways
  • Garst  Dining Center — new finishes and expansion to the dining area
  • Blair-Shannon Dining Center — demo of existing Atrium and re-purposing for exciting and new student dining use
  • Woods House, Scholars House, Freudenberger House — new student room drapes

More information will be provided with color selections for feedback as soon as it is available.

Winter Break Recycling

As you prepare to leave for winter break consider doing some early spring cleaning and donating to The Kitchen.  Collection bins are located in the lobby of each residence hall.  Possible items include clothing, non-perishable food, books, school supplies, household items, furniture, etc.
