UCO celebrates groundbreaking of new residence hall
Special to The Sun

EDMOND — The University of Central Oklahoma celebrated the groundbreaking of a new residence hall with a ceremony and reception on Thursday.

The 440-bed hall, which is anticipated to open in August 2015, will be located just north of the university’s College of Business building along Ayers Avenue in Edmond. It is the former site of East Hall, which closed in 2001.

The $28 million, 120,000-square-foot structure will bring the total number of available beds on campus to 1,900. The hall will be paid for by auxiliary funds from the project.

“In the months to come, behind me will rise one of the model opportunities to express the connection between living and learning,” UCO President Don Betz said during Thursday’s ceremony.
