Your Student and Dorm Changes in 2003-2004

Exciting
changes are in store for student housing in 2003-04. In response
to the 2001 Housing Task Force and student focus groups regarding
residence life needs and issues, Goshen College has secured a
bond that will address the desired upgrades, totaling nearly $7
million. The timeline is fast, over a period of 18 months, and
will include restroom expansion, heating and cooling needs, fire
safety, lighting and electrical needs, along with general aesthetic
improvements. Handicapped accessibility is also a priority that
will be addressed.
Here is how the schedule looks:
 |
Summer 2003-Kulp residence hall |
 |
Summer 2003-Yoder residence hall restroom
expansion |
 |
Fall 2003-Kratz residence hall |
 |
Spring 2004-Miller residence hall |
 |
Summer 2004-Yoder resident rooms |
 |
Fall 2004-Coffman residence hall |
Kratz-Miller-Yoder Connector
A new "connector" will create more attractive and convenient
student gathering space and provide accessibility for the Kratz,
Miller and Yoder residence halls. This structure will tie these
individual facilities together to create a stronger community
environment.
