Ceremonial Ground Breaking of New Residence Hall Held
Garden City, NY
June 1, 2002
A ceremonial ground breaking was held today for the new $14 million, 180-bed residence hall that will be erected on the western side of the Garden City campus. The building, which is scheduled to open in August 2003, is the University's latest response to an increased demand for on-campus housing by its students.
President Robert A. Scott states: "The new residence hall will help Adelphi continue to attract and retain high caliber students who have their choice of quality schools. Students are interested in a full college experience and living on campus is part of that."
The event was part of Alumni Reunion Weekend.
Adelphi University, chartered in 1896, was the first institution of higher education for liberal arts and sciences on Long Island. Through its schools and programs -- The College of Arts and Science, the Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, the Honors College, University College/ABLE Program, and the Schools of Business, Education, Nursing, and Social Work -- the co-educational university offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, as well as professional and educational programs for adults. Adelphi University currently enrolls over 7,000 students from 37 states and 60 foreign countries. With its main campus in Garden City and centers in Manhattan, Hauppauge, and Poughkeepsie, the University maintains a commitment to liberal studies in tandem with rigorous professional preparation.
