Ribbon-cutting Ceremony for Missouri Hall

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held Oct. 27 at 10:30 a.m. during Homecoming at the west entrance of Missouri Hall to celebrate the reopening of the newly remodeled residence hall. After opening West Campus Suites, the University’s new residence hall, in August 2006, the University spent the past year overhauling Missouri Hall which reopened in time for the fall 2007 semester.

Missouri Hall has some new features that range from air-conditioning to a new multipurpose room to a new private dining room located just off the main cafeteria. Each floor has a kitchen, laundry room, study rooms, and computer stations.

"The residents are really enjoying the building," said Zachary Burden (’03), Missouri Hall director. "I think they really like the expanded community and study spaces in the building." Burden also noted that through the renovations, they were able to expand the size of the house lounges and provide dedicated study locations. "And of course, what could be better in August and September than an air-conditioned room," said Burden. “I’m happy to see that Missouri Hall is so wonderful after the renovation yet still holds on to the core characteristic of community that always made it such an amazing place to live.”

For the next phase of the University’s campus-wide housing improvement project, construction crews have begun work on Blanton-Nason-Brewer.
