2007-2008

  • The College has just received approval to begin construction on the new East Side Residence Halls!
  • The two residence halls will accommodate 230 students in both suite and traditional dormitory style rooms.
  • Approximately half of the new residence hall beds will be devoted to increasing the number of students living on campus, thus reducing future participation in the “Northfield Option.”
  • Many sustainable and LEED options are being considered for the project, including solar domestic hot water heating and the future use of photovoltaic panels.
  • The building envelope is designed to be extremely energy efficient and we are seeking a LEED Gold certification for the project.
