Groundbreaking for new residence hall is today

This is a reminder that the SMU community is invited to a groundbreaking ceremony for our new residence hall from 10 to 10:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 7.

The groundbreaking will occur at the building site, located between the SMU ropes course and Residencia Santiago Miller (formerly the New Village).

Representatives of the SMU community and the Winona civic community will turn the first shovels of dirt to begin construction on the new hall.

As the university nears its centennial in 2012, this groundbreaking will be an important moment that will help propel the university into its second century.
