SPOTLIGHT
Ball State University
Muncie, Indiana
Name: DeHority Complex Opened: August 2009 $30 million Architect: Schmidt Associates Grace DeHority, dean of women at Ball State University from 1922 to 1945, would likely be proud of her newly renovated namesake residence hall complex. It has come a long way from the all-women’s hall that opened in 1960, due in part to changing student needs. Since its re-opening in August 2009, the 550 upperclass men and women that now live within the four stories of DeHority received just what they asked for. Housing professionals have a policy of meeting with students before they open a new residence hall to ask what their ideal residence hall would look like. “When we asked the students about what kind of residence hall experience they would like, they wanted an environment that is more like their home,” says Cindy Miller, assistant director of marketing, communications, and technology. “They want it to be comfortable, and they want to live with their friends and learn with their friends at the same time. This is an alternative to living off campus.” With these suggestions, DeHority was renovated to fulﬁll the demand for suite-style apartments, semi-private bathrooms, stackable furniture, an exhibition hall, meeting spaces, lounges, a new computer lab, a ﬁtness room, an advanced laundry facility, and a music practice room. In response to student descriptions of the ideal housing experience, they also included a living-learning community for honors students. An important part of Ball State University is a commitment to sustainability, which inspired the low-ﬂush toilets, low-VOC paint, energy efﬁcient light ﬁxtures, and high-efﬁciency washers and dryers, allowing DeHority to reach LEED Silver certiﬁcation status. Miller advocates for allowing students to be part of the facilities planning process: “We always meet with students who will be using the building and ask what the perfect living community would be for them. Afterwards, they really seem to enjoy the spaces we provide.”
