Carleton to Hold Community Open House on Residence Hall Project

The Carleton College Advisory Council on Community Relations will host a community open house on Thursday, February 28 from 6-7:15 p.m. in Carleton’s Alumni Guest House meeting room to provide an update on the College’s plans to construct a residence hall on the east side of campus. The public is invited to attend.

Since its last public meeting in December, the College has prepared final plans for the project to present to the City of Northfield for approval. There have been some changes to the plan since the last public meeting following Carleton’s Board of Trustees meeting on campus earlier this month. This is a chance for the community to provide the College with additional feedback on the project. There will be no formal presentation; planners and the College’s architects will be on hand to provide information, show current designs, and field questions and ideas.

The new residence hall project is being planned to house approximately 200 students in two separate three- to four-story structures, one building with suite-style units and another with more traditional single-, double-, and triple-occupancy units. The College has established a $26 million budget for the project, which will help bring back to campus some students now living off-campus.
