Two new North Campus Apartment buildings will become available for student housing starting next semester. This addition includes six new apartments, two with four singles and four with one double and two singles. Juniors and seniors, both those on campus and currently abroad, are eligible to apply for these four-person apartments for this spring.

“I think it’s an amazing opportunity to have six apartments open in January, so I would encourage any junior or senior to apply,” Assistant Dean of Students for Housing and Residential Life Alicia Dugas said. “Folks who have been in the North Campus Apartments realize just how wonderful they are and what a great addition to the community they are.”

Students who wish to apply can find the application, which is due by 4:00 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 7, on the Kenyon website. Students who meet the requirements will then enter a lottery for the apartments.

Dugas said she is uncertain as to when exactly students currently on campus would be able to move into these new apartments. She added, however, that they would not have to take their things home at the end of the semester, even if they have to move out of their old rooms before they move into the new apartments.

The College will determine the schedule for further north campus construction after this weekend’s meeting of the Board of Trustees, according to Dugas. As of now, all Bexley Apartments are scheduled for demolition this summer.
