New residence hall will offer living optionsfor students

In our ongoing commitment to provide outstanding residential experiences for students, we will start construction this fall on an innovative residence hall at the Winona campus which should be complete by August, 2012, in time for the next academic year.

Located between the high ropes course and the New Village apartments, the four-story facility will be used by sophomore, junior and senior students during the academic year and serve conferencing, camps and educational program needs in the summer. The structure will feature 141 beds in 45 units, with a private bath in each room. All rooms will be air-conditioned and wired for cable TV and Internet access.

This will be our first hall to offer a variety of housing options for students. It will feature single-occupancy suites, double-occupancy suites, and two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments. Study rooms, lounges and a kitchen will bring students together in community and encourage collaborative learning.
