Lincoln Quad Lincoln Quad, constructed in 1969, is now nearing 50 years of use with little modification since its original construction. With the construction of new housing facilities in Reeve Hall, 500 Wabash, and the recent and planned upgrades to existing campus housing, Lincoln Quad is the remaining on-campus housing facility that has not undergone a major renovation. Currently housing approximately 370 beds in the northern quadrangle and the same in the southern quadrangle for a total of approximately 740 beds, within the time frame of this planning effort, one or both quadrangle housing units are likely to be razed and replaced with new campus housing. Off-Campus Housing With the recent completion and opening of 500 Wabash, offering housing for 252 students in the downtown central business district, this public private partnership may be the last off-campus housing project required of the University. Off-campus housing by the private sector within the central business district of Terre Haute is encouraged by the University. Such housing would ideally offer distinct lifestyle options to the students, faculty, and staff of Indiana State, while supporting the improvement of the central business district. Sycamore Towers Consisting of four 12-story towers constructed in the early 1960s, recent renovations have been completed on Mills Hall and Blumberg Hall, with Cromwell Hall currently under renovation, and Rhoads Hall slated to begin renovation during the summer of 2017. Sycamore Towers will sport new amenities and finishes as well as housing models significantly different from the original housing layout of the 1960s to address the needs of today’s students.
R4
Dining Services (Sycamore Towers) The central core of Sycamore Towers joins the four structures and serves as the dining services area. Currently privately operated by Sodexo, planning is underway for major upgrades and modifications to this area once the major renovations to the individual towers are complete. Planned modifications will emphasize dining options and efficiencies, with the ability to more fully meet the expectations of the current marketplace.
R5
Hines Hall and Jones Hall Constructed in 1966, these twin towers located on the north end of what is now the Hulman Memorial Student Union complex have received some renovations internally as well as major exterior maintenance upgrades in recent years, starting in 1998. Additional attention most likely will be given to both towers within this master planning time frame with emphasis on upgrading the appearance and function of the entry first floor lobby areas.
R6
University Apartments Located south of the main campus, University Apartments consist of four low rise housing units constructed between 1964 and 1971. Capital investment to upgrage electrical and fire detection/suppression systems continues, while remaining a significant part of the university’s mix of housing models. Replacement or major renovations of these facilities should be studied within the time frame of this planning effort.
During the period of this planning effort, no additional capital improvement housing needs are anticipated for this housing complex.
