New Multi- Purposed Campus Complex Nearly Finished The first unit in a proposed four-unit, multi-purpose apart ment complex located adjacent to the faculty duplexes behind the track is nearly complete after three months of construction. Scheduled for completion on August 10, the unit is approx imately 20 days behind schedule, a delay which resulted primarily because of heavy rains during the early days of construction. Residents should be able to oc cupy the building during the first or second week of September. The College has arranged for the twenty four students assigned to the New Complex to be housed in the Brevard Motor Lodge until the apartments are complete. The present unit contains four apartments, and each will house six students. In each apartment are three bedrooms, two baths, and a multi-purpose area con taining a kitchen, along with din ing and lounge areas. The apart ments will be furnished with fur niture selected especially for stu dent appeal. Washing machines and telephones will be provided. Brevard first considered con structing a traditional residence hall to be connected to the back of - •.■V." •' , - The new multi-purpose apartment complex features four apartments, each capable for housing six students. Green Hall, and the architect’s model was presented to the Board of Trustees with the recommendation that the College go the apartment route instead. Administrators feel that the apartments will have greater stu dent appeal than a traditional residence hall, and, significantly, the same number of students can be housed for approximately one- third as much. A residence hall for 100 students would have cost the College approximately 3 million dollars. Except for infla tion, the same number of students can be housed in the New Complex for approximately 1 million. The cost of the present unit is approximately $250,000. There are other advantages as well. By building one unit at a time, the Office of Admissions does not face the burden of in creasing enrollment by 100 students in one academic year; rather, growth can take place gradually, and this is considered to be more healthy. Further more, should changing demographic patterns result in a smaller enrollment, these apart ments will have been constructed in such a way that they are suitable for family housing. The need for major renovation to Ross Hall was a major factor in the minds of the trustees as they authorized this construction. Cosmetic improvements have not been made because major work is needed, and this will require that the building be vacated dur ing the period of renovation. Along the way, the New Complex will “give us the flexibility to maintain current enrollment, and, at the same time, perform the necessary repairs on Ross,” stated Frank Davis, Executive Director for Development at Brevard College.
