East End Neighborhood
Driven by our residential life strategic plan, we closed and demolished Holt Hall, Campus Safety and Golf building, and the Bert W. Martin Tennis Complex and Copeland Stadium, making way for East End Neighborhood, a new 297-bed residential hall.
This residential hall will also include a 100-seat dining facility, and a 30-40 seat classroom.
Campus Safety was relocated to the Annie Russell Dance studio on the west side of campus, and will receive a permanent space within the East End Neighborhood facility. The tennis and golf programs will move to the Tennis & Golf Center.
Location
Northeast side of campus near Sutton Apartments and the Rollins Garage.
