GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME
Sullivan Lane Residential Village Dedicated
The Lafayette community gathered at Sullivan Lane Residential Village March 31 to dedicate the new student-housing complex with speeches and tours.
The $29 million complex houses 311 students in four attractive brick residences: Fisher Hall East, Fisher Hall West, Kamine Hall, and Rubin Hall. Honored at the ceremony were major benefactors Jim 77 and Tracey Fisher; Hal 78 and Kathleen Coogan Kamine 78; and George 64
and Lorraine B. Rubin.
The College also acknowledged the generous support of J. Peter 75 and
Janet Mauriello Simon 75, in whose honor Simons, a popular eatery in
Kamine Hall, is named, and that of Leon M. Wagner 75, the Class of 1964,
and the Brothers of Delta Upsilon in memory of Anthony J. Califano 64, Patrick F. McNally 64, and David R. Torre 64.
Students participated in all key phases of the design process for the complex, which accommodates undergraduates from all four class years in a setting that encourages community. All buildings include air-conditioning, elevators, cooking and laundry facilities, and wireless Internet access. A focal point is the Class of 1964 Plaza, a multipurpose space that includes a grand staircase with seating, where students can gather for informal and formal activities. A brick-lined
walkway extends from the village through Farinon Court to the area between Marquis Hall and Easton Hall.
