Signs of growth are present on the campus of AngeloStateUniversity visible by the construction of a new dormitory, CentennialVillage. The dorm is set to open in the fall of 2007 and is open to all students. CentennialVillage gets its name from the "Centennial Master Plan" that calls for its construction and for the construction of other dorms in the near future.
Centennial dorms are designed to offer three different living arrangements to students. One option is going to be an apartment that will have four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen including a dishwasher, and an in-unit washer and dryer. A second option is set to be an apartment design much like what is already seen in Texan Hall; two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a half kitchen. A last option is going to be a dorm room with an L shape that will house two students and promises to be quite roomy for its residents.
Apart from the modern outlook of the living arrangements, Centennial will have many convenient amenities to make residents' lives more comfortable.
"CentennialVillage will be a very modern, beautiful building with top notch facilities," Connie Frazier, director of Residence Life said.
The facilities will include a community building, theater, cyber cafe, large space for pool and other billiard games, ice machines and a large circular meeting room on the third floor for meetings of students. Along with these, residents can expect wireless internet, cable television hookups, phone lines and all other amenities that come with the other living facilities.
The Student Life Office expects CentennialVillage to fill up quickly and recommends that students apply early. Student Antonio Rangel agrees.
"I hear the new dorms are going to be very luxurious and will be in demand, so I'm probably going to apply early," Rangel said.
The dorms are being built to relieve tripling in the Massie dorms and to supply extra housing for students who want to come to ASU. Last year it's estimated by the Student Life Office that the university lost 100-200 students because they couldn't find a place for them to live.
