This summer, the University will kick off a three-year plan to renovate many of the residential halls on campus. According to the Office of Residential Life, $6.1 million will be spent from the capital, facility and annual renewal funds.
Miller, Metcalf, Caswell and Perkins halls will receive roof replacements to fix water leaks and reduce heat loss. In addition, Caswell will receive new paint and flooring in student rooms and the basement common area.
Bathrooms, particularly the showers, will be repaired in Barbour Hall and Barbour Hall Apartments. Restrooms in Gregorian Quad B will also be repaired.
Hegeman A, B, C, D and E will all be given new paint and flooring in student rooms. New exhaust systems will be installed in bathrooms. Minden Hall's current boiler dates back to 1912 and will be replaced this summer.
Grad Center Tower A rooms, hallways and common areas will be repainted. The exterior of Littlefield Hall will also be repainted.
The University is slated to spend $4.3 million for renovations in summer 2009. It is planning to spend $12.4 million in summer 2010, working on Minden, Caswell, Slater, Miller and Metcalf halls.
