University of Lynchburg dedicate new $22 million student dorm

School leaders name dorm Westover Hall

LYNCHBURG, Va. – University of Lynchburg students are now all moved into their new dorm.

School leaders dedicated the $22 million building and named it the Westover Hall on Friday.

The new dorm will also house classrooms and teacher offices.

The two-year project was built with creativity in mind, as students can write on the walls and furniture in the lounge area.

“It’s a place that encourages their creation and their teamwork. There’s places where they can be private, but one of the more important things is to be able to work as a team,” said Kenneth Garren, the president of University of Lynchburg.

The building was scheduled to open at the start of the school year, but storms delayed construction.
