Ball State dorm won't be ready for start of school

Posted: Updated:

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) -- About 380 Ball State University students will have to find another dorm to stay in at least temporarily when the school year starts because the renovation of Studebaker East Residence Hall is behind schedule.

The Star Press reports the contractor was supposed to turn the building back over to the university by March 31, but still has not done so. The university says after the work is finished, the university won't have enough time to get it ready for students to move in.

The 180 returning students and another 200 new students will have the option of either choosing to be assigned to Botsford/Swinford Hall and then move into Studebaker when it is ready or requesting another residence hall.
