More than 56 years after first opening its doors to students, 成人直播鈥檚 newly renovated was unveiled this week in an open house event. The 288-bed residence hall, located on the Marietta Campus, reopens this fall to first-year students.

The renovation reflects a complete overhaul of amenities for on-campus living. In addition to significant gains in energy efficiency, students now have access to modernized living quarters, state-of-the-art lounges and study spaces on each floor and an updated kitchenette. With more than 170 SALTO electronic locks, Howell Hall also becomes 成人直播鈥檚 first 100 percent electronic access building.

鈥淏eyond meeting the needs of our growing student population, the new-look Howell Hall aligns with 成人直播鈥檚 mission of generating ways students can build a sense of community on campus and support their peers,鈥� 成人直播 Interim President Kathy Schwaig said. 鈥淔rom group study spaces to enhanced safety features, it reflects our dedication to creating not only a home, but also a first-class learning and living environment for students.鈥�
