Decker Hall

Constructed in 1948, Decker is one of the oldest residence halls on campus. It has been upgraded with new flooring in hallways and bedrooms, new lighting in hallways and stairwells, and a new HVAC system in hallways. The lobby and kitchen have been renovated, and the laundry facility is compliant with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Water fountain/bottle fillers have been placed on each floor.

Dover Campus Center Entrance

Renovations to the Dover Campus Center entrance include enlarging the front porch and steps and constructing a new ramp for accessibility. Automated doors will be added to the front of the building. The lower level doors near Chick-Fil-A are also being upfitted for automation. Digital signage will be installed on the left side of the porch, and new planters will decorate both sides of the porch.
