Shepherd University in West Virginia marked the official opening of its new Potomac Place Residence Hall with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on a beautiful fall Saturday morning. The 80,000 square foot facility has just under 300 beds, and also features a classroom, student lounges, study rooms and Internet/wi-fi capabilities. The Shepherd University Foundation Supporting Organization (SUFSO) owns the building, while the university provides the management services.
Shepherd President Mary Hendrix said during the ribbon cutting, “This beautiful facility marks the first time the university has entered into a public-private partnership for this incredible, state-of-the-art residence hall designed with our students in mind.”
