Odom Village Open to Undergraduates Fall ‘05
by Sean Maroney

Morrison Residence Hall is closing to students next fall as two years of renovations begin. This poses the question: where will the nearly 1,000 students who live there go?

Odom Village will be an option to these students by offering apartment-style housing. Unlike other residence halls, these will come with a kitchen, bathroom and a
living room-dining room combination. Students can also choose from one and two bedroom units. Housing Assistant Director Rick Bradley said these apartments will provide a unique opportunity for students.

"If two individuals are interested in an apartment here,” said Bradley, “they could pull in as many as eight total people and actually request to be all in the same apartment building."

Students who went through the Odom Village tours last November will have priority for the apartments. They'll meet February 22 in the Student Union to sign their contracts. They can also sign up any interested friends.
On February 23, all other on-campus students can sign leases. After that date, any remaining apartments will be available during the online recontracting process from March 29-31.
