Ferrum College invites you to join us at
2:30pm of Friday, January 20th for the exciting move of our upperclassmen
into a new classically styled, state-of-the-art residence hall space.
Photos and video will be permitted as faculty, staff and students
help these special new residents open the newest residence hall on
campus in decades. Refreshments will be provided. The move-in is scheduled
for at least two hours.
Other Ferrum PLUS projects include Franklin Hall,
located at the heart of the Ferrum College campus across from this
new residence hall. It will be transformed into a multi-level student
and alumni center. The expanded facility will include the Earl G.
“Bud” Skeens Alumni Conference Center, sports and Internet cafés,
new offices and dramatic exterior enhancements. Many of these amenities
are already open for students to enjoy as the building nears its Fall
2006 completion date.
In November one of the original campus buildings,
Beckham Hall, was rededicated as the first completed Ferrum PLUS projects.
Its interiors were renovated to provide classrooms with state of the
art technology and faculty offices. Common areas were reconfigured
to make more efficient and aesthetically pleasing use of the overall
space. The exterior was preserved and polished to again make it a
signature building on campus.
Roberts Hall, another original campus edifice, will
also undergo renovation beginning this spring. The elegant and timeless
Georgian-inspired exteriors of both buildings will be preserved.
Ferrum PLUS is funded primarily by one of the largest USDA loans of
its kind ever awarded to an institution of higher education. The project
will result in innovative and improved campus facilities and is designed
to further the Ferrum College goal of providing each and every student
with a successful and unique educational experience.
