Kollen Hall Remodel Project - Summer 2008

Kollen Residence Hall received extensive remodeling over the summer of 2008. New energy-efficient windows and exterior doors were installed replacing the dated silver aluminum with bronze-framed tinted glass.
	The Lobby, Lounge and Library all received new flooring, new paint and wallpaper, and a fresh finish to revitalize the woodwork. The library now features an electronic fireplace, creating a cozy atmosphere for those who study there.
Student Rooms received new bed frames and mattresses, new desk chairs and new carpet. Hallways were updated with the new color pallet -- rich blues and warm-toned yellows. New signage was also installed throughout the building. New toilet partitions were installed matching the previously installed corian sinks.
Efficiencies:	New double-paned windows lower heating and cooling costs. T-12 light fixtures were replaced by T-8's lowering energy usage. Bed frames were recycled to other buildings or sold instead of being sent to landfills. Good/clean mattresses were recycled to other buildings; surplus mattresses were donated to a charity working with a poverty-stricken Indian reservation.
