Our latest walk through Dobson Hall has allowed us to view what colors will be accenting the hallways. There has also been a tremendous amount of work on the first floor in the location of the main entryway, main lounge, convenience store, laundry room, hall offices, and the multipurpose room. Also since the last post, the 2009-2010 Dobson Hall Staff was named, consisting of twelve excited Student Advisors and a Community Coordinator. Now all that is left is the completion of the building…
The Truman State University Residence Life Website has an updated building map of Dobson Hall after renovation, feel free to check it out!
2009-2010 Dobson Hall Community Coordinator Claire Hof looks through the 4 South Study Lounge windows. Be sure to notice the purple accent colors that will be on the 4th Floor.
The 3rd Floor will have a green accent color.
The 2nd Floor will have a Blue Accent color. (Not shown: the 1st Floor accent will be red)
This is the Main Lounge, as if you were standing at the Hall Desk. Along the right hand side will be a fireplace and TV. In the background you can see where the mailboxes will be located.
Here is a close up of the mailboxes, which will be located in the Main Lounge across from the Convenience Store.
Welcome to a new year in the Dobson Renovation. 2009 brought more developments in the renovation project. Drywall is starting to be installed. Workers are also starting to install new plumbing parts including some of the drinking fountains. The new electrical boxes have been installed in the past month, and it looks like the building is coming along smoothly.
When Dobson opens in the fall, the communities will be split into upperclassmen and first year communitiies. So when reading the blog, keep in mind that floors 1 and 3 will be for upperclassmen and floors 2 and 4 for first years. At the bottom of this entry you will see some 3-D designs of what a double room in Dobson will look like in August. If you have any questions, comments, or requests, please feel free to comment on the blog!
