This April, more than 200 students at the University of Houston in Texas were treated to a special VIP screening of the premiere episode of HBO’s original series “Game of Thrones.” The event was arranged in collaboration with the university’s Student Program Board. Based on the bestselling fantasy book series, A Song of Ice and Fire written by George R. R. Martin, the series, which made its HBO debut on April 17, details the struggle between kings and queens, knights and renegades, and liars and noblemen for power and control of the prestigious throne. With the series’ popularity among college and university students, the special screening was also shown at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; San Francisco State University in California; Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia; Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Boston University in Massachusetts.

PUTTING AN END TO BED BUGS AND DUST MITES
Created as a joint collaboration between Southerland, Inc. and Allergy Technologies LLC, the Southerland Total Protection Sleep System has been introduced as the first mattress and foundation system to eliminate the problem of bed bugs and dust mites. The Total Protection Sleep System was developed in response to the increase in bed bug and dust mite infestations, which not only cause concerns but also pose potential health problems. The new system is designed with ActiveGuard technology, an EPA-registered bedding product that kills bed bugs and dust mites upon contact and offers continuous protection. Emphasizing safety as well as comfort, the Total Protection line is currently available to hotels, universities, apartments, and retail stores.
JULY + AUGUST 2011

DeKalb, Illinois Featuring two residential buildings, the new complex will provide housing to 1,000 students. The buildings will be composed in a cluster configuration, each cluster providing space for 12 students who will have private bedrooms, semi-private bathrooms, and a shared lounge space. Further amenities within the complex include a food court-style dining area, recreation facility, and lounge and gaming space. The project was designed by HKM Architects + Planners and is being built by Pepper Construction Group.
Duke University

Durham, North Carolina The construction company SKANSKA broke ground on a new five-story residence hall which will house 147 students. Designed by William Rawn Associates, the building will have LEED Silver certification and will be composed of two separate houses, each featuring a “great room” emphasizing community engagement with the addition of kitchens and study rooms. As part of the design project, a large university commons area will also be constructed at one end of the building.
