Western Carolina University held a rededication ceremony Saturday, Sept. 22, to celebrate a $15.5 million renovation to Harrill Residence Hall that enhanced student rooms and community areas while incorporating energy-efficient features.
“This was designed to be a space for students to live and learn in for many years to come,” said Sam Miller, vice chancellor for student affairs.
Galen May, university architect, points out Harrill Residence Hall’s environmentally friendly features on the Eco Screen, an energy dashboard and interactive kiosk, in the building’s lobby.
The yearlong renovation project reconfigured the now 77,296-square-foot residence hall built in 1971 into modern suites of rooms for 354 students, added kitchenettes and living and gathering spaces, and featured a 6,000-square-foot addition with an upscale meeting venue.
