student residence facility. The facility will provide much-needed student
living space for the university.
"Shorter University has had tremendous growth, and in the fall of 2011, our
record enrollment included approximately 120 students who wanted to live on
campus that we were unable to accommodate with on-campus housing," said Dr.
Don Dowless, university president. "The student experience is enriched by
being part of the campus community, and we are excited that this new
construction will allow us to have even more of our student population
reside in our Christ-centered campus environment."
A team from Atlanta-based architectural firm Cooper Carry is working to
develop plans for the building; architects involved in the project are Tim
Fish, Lyle Green, and David Goodman. Allen Hornback of Marietta-based ADE
Builders is serving as contractor for the construction project.
The building will be located behind the Sheffield-Thompson Building between
the Newman Hall and Hazel Eubanks Hall residence facilities.
A groundbreaking will be held in the near future, and the university plans
to have the facility completed for use during the fall semester.
