New Hall with an Old Soul
Next fall c current University Hous-ing residents will have the unique opportunity to be the first live in
our newest residence hall the new Ruth-erford Hall located on the historic Myers Quad
The new Rutherford Hall replaces the previous Rutherford Hall constructed in 1939 As did the original the new hall boasts a stellar location within walking distance of Snelling Dining Commons the newly-expanded Oglethorpe Dining Commons Tate Student Center Miller Learning Center Sanford Stadium and Stegeman Coliseum
As in years past some Rutherford residents can look forward to participat-ing in the Franklin Residential College a student-governed residential community that offers its members opportunities to participate in cultural and academic programs alongside a faculty member in residence The FRC is modeled after the residential colleges common in Ivy League institutions and is meant to cre-ate the feeling of a small college within a large university
University Housing Capital Projects Coordinator Don Hudak points out that constructing a new building amidst mature trees and existing historic structures presents its own set of challenges but despite Rutherfordrsquos larger footprint the contractors have successfully navigated the underground congestion to ensure that
the hall will offer modernized systems Potential residents can keep an eye on
the construction via University Housingrsquos exclusive webcam at housingugaeduresidencetourmyersrutherford
The new Rutherford Hall will pay hom-age to its predecessor with monumental stairs leading from Myers Quad signa-ture columns subtle archwork unique Georgia brick details and traditional window design The new facility however will house 100 more students in fully modernized double and single rooms with private bathrooms
ldquoAdding approximately 260 beds of that type of stock with enhanced bathroom privacy we believe will be attractive to our studentsrdquo adds University Housing Executive Director Gerard Kowalski
In addition project coordinators purposefully preserved architectural ele-ments from the original structure in order to incorporate them into the new building in creative ways Some of original hand-railing has even been cleverly blended into the landscaping design
The conception of Rutherford Hallrsquos interior common spaces has been just as intentional as the design of the exte-rior The hall will feature two fireplace mantles retrieved from the old building as the focal point of parlors located at the entrance to the second floor The mantles are decorated with mosaic tiles placed there by past residents of Rutherford Hall
Four paneled doors taken from student rooms will serve as a wall treatment at the entrance to the new multipurpose room
Building Services Superintendent Steve Marcotte made a point to include original architectural elements and to acknowl-edge the historic quality of the original Rutherford Hall with his choices of inte-rior finishes and furnishings
ldquoFrom an interiors perspective simple classic lines were used combined with the use of neutral colorsrdquo he says ldquoThe challenge for the furnishings was to be mindful of the needs of the residents of the new millennium and still convey a sense of timeless gracerdquo
Rutherford Hall will feature multiple laundry and kitchen facilities study rooms a computer lab and a large multi-purpose room equipped with state-of-the-art technology designed to accommodate programs or events Project designers faced the challenge of offering a fully modern residence hall that will meet the needs of residents for decades to come while maintaining the historic aesthetic of the Myers community
ldquoThe challenges of decorating a residence hall center on providing an appealing environment that will withstand the rigors of a 24-hour facilityrdquo Marcotte adds ldquoRutherford is no exceptionrdquo
In short Rutherford Hall will offer resi-dents all the luxury of a modern structure along with all the charm of its predeces-

sophomore James Han a Reed Hall resident explains why university Housing is the best fit for his busy lifestyle
What made you decide to continue living on campusi chose to continue living on campus because it is an amazing way to be part of a community of people and meet friends i am a really social per-son and being able to live with other residents and having those interac-tions with them has really made my college experience worthwhileWhat are the advantages to living in university Hous-ing One major advantage of living in University housing is the conve-nience of being close to all of my classes as a sociology and accounting double major many of my classes are in north campus living in reed makes going to class much easier because University housing is well dis-tributed geographically among campus there are always housing options
that let you live near all of your classes or your favorite dining hallWhat would you tell students younger than you how living on campus has shaped your college experience living as part of a community is single-handedly the reason why i have made so many friends in college it exposes you to a lot and you are close to all of the action There is always something to do whether it be ra programs rha programs DaWGs after Dark concerts or even just hanging out in your room with some friends living
on campus keeps you in the center of the action while meeting some amazing people along the wayHave there been any specific moments or times when yoursquove felt that living on campus was certainly the right decision i donrsquot have to worry about rent transportation or having to find time to clean my bathroom during finals week However nothing compares to being able to go back to your room in between class and take those amazing mid-day naps i usually have a gap between work and class and so having a place to be able to go back to for a 45-minute nap makes me feel so much more energized and prepared for the day aheadHow are you involved in your residential communityliving on campus and being involved in housing has really made my col-lege experience i started out by running for payne hall council my fresh-man year and my experience in housing has branched out significantly from there i now currently serve as the treasurer of the residence hall association the second largest organization on campus i have also worked over the summer in 1516 as a conference host and i currently work as a desk assistant in reedany advice for returning residents I would definitely recom-mend checking out the halls and going on tours each hall has its own personality and finding the one that suits you the best is important

In Mary Lyndon Hall in the Myers Community itrsquos not uncommon to hear snippets of French and Spanish
in the halls where students are united by their interest in and enjoyment of these romance languages in one of University Housingrsquos language communities
Language communities offer the op-portunity for students to enhance their linguistic abilities as well as to learn more about culture both abroad and in the local community All program-ming will be in the chosen language with events and programs designed to immerse students in the linguistic and cultural environment of that language when possible
Participants are immersed in these languages through daily spontaneous interaction with their neighbors as well as through organized activities such as movie nights dinners dances
and parties guest lectures concerts excursions and a required weekly conversation course Residents earn academic credit for completion of the program and also are granted prior-ity registration for French or Spanish language courses
Each language community is led by a graduate student in the Department of Romance Languages and offers participants exclusive use of an on-site computer lab with software to meet the needs of language enthusiasts
Any student incoming or already en-rolled at UGA who has studied French or Spanish at the intermediate level is eligible to apply
In Reed Hall University Housing also offers the American Sign Language Multicultural Experience (ASLME) a residential community that celebrates American Sign Language and Deaf Cul-
ture ASLME allows students to improve their language skills and to learn from programs and activities outside of the classroom including mentorship oppor-tunities service learning and in-depth exposure to language and culture

Itrsquos no secret that studying abroad allows for one unforgettable life-changing experience As a matter of fact here at the Uni-versity of Georgia about one in four graduating seniors have
participated in one of our numerous programs and would prob-ably jump at the opportunity to share their experiences with you
What better way to learn about ancient history than to travel to the ruins where history was made Imagine the convenience of fine-tuning your French or Italian while speaking fluently with native speakers over brunch Studying abroad allows you to extend your cultural references from merely pages in a textbook to pages photos and memories in a travel journal
In addition to the hundreds of options for learning destina-tions ndash UGA has programs that operate in approximately 50 countries each year ndash studying abroad fits relatively easy into your preexisting college budget
For example credits earned through a UGA-sponsored study abroad or exchange program are charged at the in-state tuition rate even if a student would normally pay out-of-state tuition Additionally University Housing contracts allow for flexibility once a student has been accepted into a study abroad program that provides UGA credit ndash no worries about paying housing fees in two places at once
Also you can use your current financial aid andor HOPE Scholarship to pay the costs of studying abroad as well as apply for some of the many merit and need-based scholarships or fel-lowships available to help students cover the costs of studying abroad
So what are you waiting for Head over to internationalugaedu for more information on finding the best program to suit your needs Agrave bientocirct mdash Felicia Harris
