Two weeks after students first moved in, DeHority Complex officially reopened during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday.
Ball State President Jo Ann Gora cut the ribbon marking the official reopening of the complex at approximately 3:45 p.m. DeHority originally opened in 1960 as four all-women's halls. The complex was named in honor of Grace DeHority, who served as dean of women from 1922 to 1945.
Construction on the building, which cost about $30 million, was completed this past summer just in time for Honors College students to move in Fall Semester. Although there was an overflow of students, the complex serves about 550 students who live in the hall and is partnered with the Ball Honors House.
Gora went over many of the new features of DeHority, which now includes central air conditioning, semi-private restrooms and a state-of-the-art computer lab and music practice room. She added that the building, which will soon be fifty years old, now belongs in the 21st century and that the new renovations satisfied Ball State's "desire to build a state-of-the-art facility."
