Residence Hall Changes
In 2009, it was decided to close the Residence Areas of Zimmerman House, the men's honor community, and The floors on the third floor of TJ Jones Memorial Library, the women's honor floor, due to decreased enrollment. The university hopes to reopen the Zimmerman House as a residence hall sometime in the future; however, the third floor of TJ Jones Memorial Library currently houses the university's Communications Department.
Currently, the third floor of Carlson Hall is coed, with women living on the East side and men on the West side. For the 09-10 school year, the east side will become a men's floor. As a result of these closures, Carlson Hall will be an all-male living area. The first floor of Phillipps Hall, currently male living areas, will house women next year to accommodate those no longer in Carlson or TJ.
Due to the influx in the number of students for the 2010-2011 school year, Zimmerman House was reopened as a women's dormitory.
During the summer of 2011 & 2012, the university began and finished a bathroom remodel in both Miller and Carlson hall. Each bathroom was gutted and expanded with additional sinks and toilets. Several old dorm rooms were removed to make room for the expansion and additional bed space was created elsewhere. The school hopes to begin bedroom renovations on both dormitories during the summer of 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words residence and/or hall:
“If you would feel the full force of a tempest, take up your residence on the top of Mount Washington, or at the Highland Light, in Truro.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
