Paving of Path to New UTEP Housing Complex Almost Finished

Crews have completed most of the asphalt paving of the road that leads from Sun Bowl Drive to the Miner Canyon student housing complex. Workers expect to finish putting the final touches on Residence Hall 1, known as Copper Hall, the week of July 20. Then they will shift their focus on Residence Hall 2, called Whispering Springs Hall, and complete the work there in the next few weeks. The installation of the cabinetry in RH2 is completed and the landscaping around the complex is nearing completion. The commons building, with its kitchen, computer lab, meeting hall, conference room and Student Life staff offices, should be completed in early August 2015. The commons building was named Boquillas Hall.
