Mecho shades have become the window treatment of choice in the residence halls at UD. We started with the Christiana Towers and now have spread their installation across campus including all the new residence halls up north, in West Campus, and in East Campus except for Harrington Complex. One area not addressed that will be started this coming summer is Central Campus. Although the Central Campus buildings underwent an extensive renovation approximately 10 years ago in the "Mall Project," our standard life expectancy for window treatments other than Mecho shades is actually 10 years. In the Mall Project we used simple venetian mini-blinds, which while functional, are less durable than a Mecho shade. The buildings to be retro-fitted this summer include Smyth, Cannon, Sussex, and Squire. Other buildings will follow in succeeding summers. UD gets many calls from colleges and universities across the country asking for input and advice about installing Mecho shades due to the fact that our campus has used so many of the shades in our residence halls.
