State of the art building
The 600 block of Comstock Avenue looks like a regular construction site right now. But it is actually the first dormatory being built since the Boland and Brewster Halls opened in 1966. the 140,000 square foot building costs about $54 millon. It will offer more amenities then any other dorm on campus, including air conditioning and 10,000 square feet of recreational space.
Still under Construction
The building is supposed to open August 21st. SU housing director, Eileen Simmons, said even with a few setbacks this winter, the building will open on time. "They're on the mark with where they wanted to be. I think initially in the winter there were some issues with pouring concrete but that all managed to work out fine so they're prepared for student arrival on the 21st," said Simmons.
What about Washers, dryers and furniture?
A construction worker at the site said it's pretty empty inside. There are still things missing such as washers, dryers, and furniture; which is supposed to arrive later this week. The worker said there are still several windows and doors that need to be installed. When asked if he thought that the building would open on time, he responded with a grin, "I plead the fifth."
