JAMESTOWN – Officials at Jamestown Community College say the third residence hall being built at the Jamestown campus will be ready for occupancy at the start of the fall semester. JCC Vice President and Dean of Administration John Garfoot delivered the news to JCC’s board of trustees during a recent meeting. Garfoot said the effort to build the Hillside Suites Central is on time and within budget. The new hall, which can accommodate 120 students, is located between Hillside Suites North and South on the Curtis Street side of the campus.
Like the previous two halls which opened in 2008, the new facility offers suite-style accommodations with private bedrooms and shared living room, kitchen, and dining spaces in each suite.
Garfoot said the residential facilities have allowed the college to attract more students from outside the college’s service area including international students. A number of local and regional students also use the suites as an alternative to having to drive to the campus on a daily basis.
While interest in the residence hall remains high and housing deposits are arriving daily, there is still time to apply for on-campus accommodations, Garfoot noted. For additional information on the residence halls, call 338.1188.
