The new apartment complex will have an arrangement similar to UA's lease with Sky View. Residence Life has approved a similar plan for a single-family complex. Residence Life is asking developers for additional site and development suggestions. Until new facilities are built, Sky View will provide much-needed housing for students. UA's two-year lease with Eastern Way ends during the summer of 2002, and Residence Life officials have not ruled out renewing it.
Officials anticipate a much easier fall for next year's residents.
The summer break will provide an opportunity for UA maintenance to repair any lingering problems and to clean the apartments. We have already dramatically improved the fire safety system and the voice and data system.
