The doors to the new residence halls constructed in the large Silver Lots south of Sheehan Hall at Winona State University were opened to new tenants Aug. 17. New Hall East and New Center West have been approved by Winona's building inspector, with the exception of some finishing touches. "There are some punch list items they're still working on but for all intents and purposes the building is done," said Winona State Housing and Residence Life Director Paula Scheevel. Not yet officially named, Winona State is working with those who have donated to the residence halls so permanent namesakes can be bestowed, said Scheevel. Though not labeled with the most enticing monikers, the new halls boast contemporary construction and interior design. Roughly 126,000 square feet, the new halls have the capacity Brad Farrell/Winonan to house 408 students.
