<p>KWAME managed the yearlong construction project and currently serves as program manager for all Harris-Stowe capital improvement projects. Grice Group Architects and Trivers Associates Architects provided architectural services. K&amp;S Associates was the general contractor.</p>
<p>\"This project represents the final phase in the transformation of our university,\" said Henry Givens, outgoing president of Harris-Stowe. \"Our new residence hall and dining facility will give students a well-rounded college experience, allowing them to participate in leadership activities, develop life-long friendships and focus on earning a college degree without ever leaving our campus.\"</p>
<p>The new, four-story environmentally friendly residence hall will house up to 200 students in single- and double-bedroom suites with furnished living rooms, kitchenettes, dining areas and private bathrooms. Every floor includes a lounge and two quiet study rooms in each wing. Other building amenities include a cardio fitness room, laundry facility, mailboxes, community kitchen, 24-hour vending and a public safety office, all located on the ground floor.</p>
