Sneak Preview: Chester and Sassafras

August 8, 2008

Two new residence halls, Sassafras and Chester, will be ready for occupancy when students arrive on campus. Two weeks before the start of the fall semester, workers are completing the construction punch list and readying the site for landscaping. Sassafras, the larger of the two structures, features a "grab-and-go" snack bar and a small exercise room. Both dorms offer lounge areas with incredible views of Kibler Field.
