Demolition on Oglethorpe University Campus Makes Room for New Dorms

Oglethorpe University’s silent faculty will gain two new members in the coming months. In July 2004, crews demolished Trustee and Dempsey Halls on the university’s campus to make way for two new residence halls, designed to meet the needs of today’s students. The first of these new residence halls is scheduled to be complete in fall 2005.

A groundbreaking ceremony will take place on the site September 8 at 11:30 a.m. The event will be student-centered and will be attended by the residence hall architects and builders, DeKalb County dignitaries and university faculty and staff.
