Rodney E/F storage to be converted to more "thoughtful" purpose

This fall, a storage room for extended housing furniture in the basement of Rodney E/F will be re-purposed into a dedicated study room. This will allow residents of Rodney E/F to enjoy the same advantage that the other four Rodney buildings have, namely a room just for studying in the basement. Although the extended housing furniture will still be needed in the future, there are other locations around the Complex and nearby the buildings where the furniture can be more suitably stored, allowing the room to be set up for studying. Updates on the status of the new studying room and when it will be opening will be communicated through the Rodney Residence Life Staff.

Dickinson B "scores" new rubber floors...

In addition to Christiana East, the Dickinson B floor lounges were used as "guinea pigs" for a new flooring solution that can be used in place of carpet. The new rubber flooring is much easier to maintain in high traffic areas and also in lounges that get alot of late night studying and snack eating in addition to just regular wear and tear. The floor lounges were also painted a few years back to give them a more modern look and the final piece will be looking into new lighting that will look less "institutional."
