The 91,000 sq. ft. residence hall will also feature traditional dormitory- style buildings rather than apart- ment-style buildings which UW- Parkside currently offers. • According to DeAnn Stone, direc- tor of residence life, the donn is essen- tial to UW-Parkside's growth and will allow students from outside the Racine and Kenosha area to attend the university. Stone also gave an update orr the construction project. "Parkside's new dorms are within one week of the scheduled August 1997 turnover date," explained Stone. "With continuing good weather, the construction will be completely caught up." -Amanda Bulgrin Staff Writer The ball is roIling on dormitory construction at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. In order to accomodate students from outside the region, an $8.8 mil- lion-dollar dormitory is being con- structed west of Molinaro Hall. The. new dorms will reduce an annual wait- ing list of about 100 students and improve the conditions for students residing in the current dorms. Presently, seven to eight students share one apartment. Ideally, each apartment should house six students. The new dorms will double the hous- ing capacity at UW-Parkside, provid- ing housing for an additional 400 stu- dents. CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW DORMS is slated for completion by Fall of 1997, planning to accomodate 400 more students. Photo by Amber Nichols.

It may help us attract more stu- dents."
