Last fall, Dickinson E and F residents moved in to new dressers in each room. The dressers they replaced were more than 20 years old and smaller than any other dresser on campus. The primary reason that the smaller dressers were purchased many years ago was to give residents more room by taking up less space. When a decision was made to replace the dressers as their life cycle was up, Residence Life and the Dickinson Complex Community Council were contacted to see what the current residents would like for a new dresser style. We gave them some samples to try that were more in line with what was supplied in other areas. The feedback resulted in the model that we selected for Dickinson, which was 6" wider than the old dresser, but about the same height. Residents seem pleased with the new model so this summer we purchased enough new dressers from the same supplier to "complete" the Complex from A through D. The old dressers were removed from Campus in June by a liquidator that intends to re-use them. In the photo, the new dressers are lined up in the Dickinson C/D tubeways awaiting delivery into the rooms.
