Two days ago, I got a first hand look at the construction of the two new residence halls at Fordham: Campbell Hall and Salice-Conley Hall. We were filming a new promotional video for the halls that will soon appear on the ResLife website: www.fordham.edu/resliferh
The construction is set for completion this summer and it will have new residents starting in August. I took a few pictures of the progress of the construction.
The halls will contain several different types of rooms. They are all apartment style living for Juniors and Seniors. Each apartment will have two doubles (four person suite), three doubles (six person suite), four singles (four person suite), or five singles (five person suite). Each apartment will have a common space complete with furniture, a fully functional kitchen with a microwave and a dishwasher (something no other building has on campus), bedrooms with beds, armoires, and desks for each person in the room, bathrooms, and the ability to control the climate.
I’ve been on the planning committee for these buildings and I have to say they are pretty cool. We are going centering the focus of the buildings on the fact that many seniors have internships. Some cool initiatives include a dry cleaning pick up and delivery service and free coffee when people are leaving for work on a big internship day.
