New men's residence hall named after
seventh president of St. Augustine's College
by JeRonica Goodwin
February 12,1995, marked
an exciting experience for the
men of Saint Augustine’s
College. This was the ground
breaking ceremony for the new
men’s residence hall to be
completed for the fall semester
of 1995.
This beautiful six story
building cost approximately
$3 million, including the
furniture.
On October 12, 1995, it
was formally opened, named
and dedicated. Named after
the seventh president of Saint
Augustine’s College, the
James A. Boyer Hall is located
on the northeast section of
campus and occupies 42,900
sq.ft. It has one hundred
rooms with two beds in each.
On every floor there is a lobby
at the end, equipped with
tables and chairs. There are two
guest rooms along with a board
room on the sixth floor.
Ms. Mary Derr, the assistant
dorm director, feels that the new
dorm gives the young men
something to be proud of and has
made great changes in their
attitudes. She plans to buy games
with the money used for lock
outs, and set up committees for
special programs to boost
campus morale. And most
recently, Boyer Hall sold candy
apples to the student body.
The new dormitory was
built to bring all male students
back on campus for more
manageability and to cut costs.
Mr. Clifton McMullen, the
project director for the hall, ' Hys
that north campus or Glascock
was not suitable for living
quarters and was beginning to be
very costly to repak.
One thing for sure is
that the Boyer Hall provides a
“home away from home
atmosphere” for many male
students. The new hall has also
provided better living facilities
for the men of Saint Augustine’s
College.
