As the University o Mount Union welcomedthe Class o 2015 to campus in August, it
also witnessed the return o an eager group
o juniors and seniors who were ready andexcited to move into the newly-constructed
apartment housing village on Union Avenue.
Over the years, there has been a high
demand rom today’s students or more in-dependent living options on campus, and
Mount Union answered the call by buildingits third apartment-style housing village.
Construction began this past all on a trioo three-story complexes located in the
1400 block o South Union Avenue at thesouthwest corner o Overlook Drive.
More, More and MoreMore housing provides more independence or more students
Issue III, 201
These new residences are certainly makingan impact on our students’ experiences, and
they are part o a comprehensive ve-year
plan to address undergraduate and gradu-ate housing needs. The ultimate objective
o this plan is to have 80% o our undergrad-uates living in university-owned housing by
2015. In act, Mount Union accomplishedthis goal three years early as the number o
students living in on-campus housing in-creased rom 75% last year to 80% this year.
“We are no longer an institution whereour seniors move o campus in mass, but
rather stay and provide leadership to our
on-campus community,” said Dr. RichardGiese, president o Mount Union.
The apartment complex speaks to MounUnion’s commitment to sustainability as
has been designed in accordance with sver LEED standards. The complex includehigh eciency HVAC systems; fuoresce
lighting xtures; low-fow showers and tlets; carpeting made rom recycled mate
als; low volatile organic compound (VOCadhesives; paint with low VOC content;
locally manuactured building productsincluding brick, wood and stone materia
triple pane windows; and bike racks.
Highlights o the apartmentstyle complex include:• Three30,000-square-footbuildingscontaining16

From the President The all semester is upon us, and with it camethe arrival o nearly 700 new students eager
to begin what can only be considered an ex-ceptional journey. Sandy and I had the plea-
sure to meet many o these new reshmenrecently at a welcome picnic at our home.
They are a bright and energetic bunch ull o
potential and promise, and they are alreadybeginning to make Mount Union their “home
away rom home.” Our campus environmentis certainly intellectually challenging as well
as welcoming and comortable. It is our priority to help our students learn, grow and deve
into responsible adults who will not just make an impact in their uture career elds, buthe world as a whole. I am condent that the Class o 2015 is up to the challenge.
