Description: A three-story dormitory with capacity for 206 students, Walther Hall sits on the south side of Evangel’s campus. This renovation of the 55-year-old dorm replaces mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment and interior finishes. The work includes an update to first- and second-floor lobbies, community areas, kitchenettes, shower stalls and an HVAC system allowing for individual room temperature control, according to project officials. In addition, the resident hall director’s apartment and exterior finishes will be renovated. The project is part of the university’s construction campaign, Here.Now.
A safe room and classroom addition at Willard Central Elementary School will be used by the music, arts and athletic programs for a district that had 4,536 students last year, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education figures, but school officials say enrollment is projected to grow.
