Vol. 41, Issue 3 ethodist College, Fayetteville, NC Friday, February 14,2003 Established 1961 New Apartments On The Block By Ashleigh Radford Editor-in-Cheif Methodist College is once again looking to upgrade its living conditions with the idea of new apartments similar to the current Cape Fear Commons. The new apartments will be built by First Floor; the same com pany that built complexes for Fayetteville State University. The complex will consist of two three- story buildings that will house forty-eight students each. These new structures will be slightly up scale from the Cape Fear Com mons' with each four-bathroom apartment having its own laundry room and four separate bathrooms. Each apartment will have one handicap friendly bedroom and bathroom to accommodate Meth odist College handicap students. The kitchen and living room area will be similar to the Cape Fear, as it will be a common area. Methodist College has de cided to allow the construction of these apartments to be just east of the Pines Apartments. Construc tion should start in March of this current year with a completion date scheduled by the end of July. Although the financial as pects are still in negotiations with the company, school, and trustees; if all plans are successful, two ad ditional buildings and a community center will be constructed in the near future. A new security plan for the apartments is also under negotia tions. College officials have dis cussed additional lighting, more Cr. Genna Rae McNeil speaks at Convocation 4 patrols, and possibly an alarm sys tem to secure the area. After the apartments are constructed, resi dents will no longer live in the Pines Apartments. The Pines will be used for Residential Staff and/or over flow residents. As plans before set the Pines Apartments location as the new location for Cape Fear Valley’s Health Plex, this plan has slowly diminished and will almost defi nitely not occur, as stated by Dean of Students, George Blanc, “Methodist College was recently informed by Cape Fear Valley Hos pital that it is unlikely that we will be able to go forth with the plans for the Health Plex on campus. Al though the board “Methodist College was RECENTLY INFORMED BY CaPE Fear Valley Hospital that IT IS unlikely that we will BE able to GO FORTH WITH the plans for the Health Plex on campus..." of directors have agreed to give the proposal additional con sideration it re mains unlikely that the planned health plex will be built her at Methodist Col lege.” As for the new apartments built by First Floor, if plans are suc cessful, there will be 235 apart ment style living arrangements available here at Methodist Col lege. Student body President Mike Brown and T.J Johnson surround convocation speaker Dr. Genna Rae McNeil. McNeil spoke about several black women activists during Convocation on Monday, February 3rd in Reeves Auditorium to help celebrate Black History Month with Methodist College students.
