Dean College to Open New Residence Hall - Construction Due to be Completed December 2012

Dean College officially broke ground Monday April 2, 2012 on construction of a new residence hall.  Construction is due to be completed in December 2012 and will be ready for students to move in for the spring 2013 semester.  The new residence hall, consisting of 120 beds will be used to house upperclassmen and was made necessary due to a strong growth period for the College.

“Construction of this building is one part of our institutional strategic plan to continually transform and improve Dean College for both current and future students,” says Dean College President, Dr. Paula M. Rooney.  “Over the past several years we have made a substantial investment in academics, technology, campus beautification and infrastructure, all with the focused goal of making Dean College a destination of choice for students.  We proudly point to our recent top 20 ranking by US News and World Report, our record enrollment the past two years and substantial on-campus improvements as proof of our success in bringing this plan to fruition and we are excited to continue shaping a bright future for the College.”
