Ai® , BUILDINGS Writer: Darcy Bouitinghouse Photographer: Ben Dyson Designer: Olivia Jones In fall 2013, the UA saw the addition of a new residence hall, Founders Hall. After over a year ' s worth of construction, not only did the building allow for more student living space on campus, but it also increased the number of seats available in its neighboring dining hall, Brough Commons. Founders Hall also housed three retail restaurants, Slim Chickens, Chef Jet and Papa John ' s. During its dedication, Chancellor Gearhart declared, The arrival of Founders Hall now provides more than 200 new beds and increases dining hall capacity by almost 400 seats. Gearhart also noted that the new hall would enhance the on-campus living experience. Senior kinesiology major Emily Parr said, It ' s a great community that is very close and very active. After two years of renovations, Hotz Hall was finally complete in fall 2013. Students saw huge improvements in their living quarters, as well as a computer lab and study areas. According to Arkansas Newswire, The facility has been thoughtfully redesigned to foster community among first-year honors students, starting with traditional two-person rooms that encourage new students to interact and form friendships i n common areas. r A A AUGUST U I H- NEW BUILDINGS
