Thursday, March 28,1985/THE BLUE BANNER/3 Village plans doubling rooms By Joan Sferk The dormitories in the UNCA Village will open their doors to 74 more students next fall. In an attempt to meet the rising ntmiber of on- campus students, housing will double the comer rooms in the village, cre ating 74 more spaces, ac cording to Cindy Lamm, director of housing and residence life. After an unsuccessful attempt to deal with the rising number of on-campus students by tripling the rooms in the Hlghrise, Lamm looked for other op*- tlons. One option was to rent rooms from local hotels, but the administration was unsuccessful with this at tempt. Housing made the deci sion to double the comer rooms in the village, a practice used before the completion of the High- rise. The present occupants in the comer rooms will have the option to stay in the rooms and accept a roomate or have the opportunity to move to the first availa ble private room. The cost of these double rooms will be the same as the cost of double rooms in the Hlghrise, according to William Pott, vice chancellor for finance. Housing will buy new furniture for the village double rooms at a cost of approximately $60,000, ac cording to Pott. They will also paint the rooms in the village and fix the doors to "spmce it up," Lamm said. These accomodations will help meet the demands for space until the completion of the new dormitory in 1987, according to Lamm. The new four-story dorm itory will house 300 stu dents, the same as the Hlghrise. Once the new dormitory opens, housing will decide whether to make the comer rooms private again, ac cording to Lamm.
