Residence Hall Renovation Projects

The Department of Residential Life continues to provide improvements and upgrades to the Residential facilities on campus. We make every effort to complete these projects during the lowest times of occupancy so that fewer residents are affected and to meet deadlines for when students return. Please use the information provided below as to upgrades, improvements and news related to ongoing work done in our residential facilities. This page will be updated for new projects or problems that may arise to keep the community updated on what Residential Life staff are doing to resolve problems and/or improve our facilities.
