EWU plans to build new dorm

CHENEY – For the first time in 40 years, Eastern Washington University is planning to build a new dormitory for students.

The Daily Journal of Commerce reports that plans call for a five-story, 352-bed dormitory to open in the fall of 2013. Construction is slated to start in April.

The new building will cost $25 million, not including the land. It will be on the north side of the university.
