News Brief
College proposes dorm sites

The proposed sites for the next round of dorm construction are: on Willard Court behind The Oberlin Inn, the plot of land just north of Stevenson on N. Professor, behind Old Barrows and behind Johnson house.

The Johnson house location was previously a source of controversy between the town and the College last year, when the City Council rejected planned development on the site.

According to Acting Vice President for Finance Ronald Watts, the College has submitted the list of sites to the town. He also said that the Stevenson and Oberlin Inn sites were brought up at the suggestion of the town.

“The city told the College that it needed to do preliminary community work before submitting plans to the city,” Watts said.

The College plans to add 168 beds in the next round of construction.
