DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. (May 3, 2022) –
Daytona State College is celebrating the completion of the new student residence hall with a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony on May 5 at 1 p.m. at the Daytona Beach Campus. Under construction for 13 months, this four story, 252-bed facility will open its doors to DSC’s first-ever on-campus residents this summer.
On-campus housing begins a new chapter in the life of the College and is aligned with the mission of open access and affordability. The residence hall was designed to be an affordable option within reach for all students, including those on financial aid and scholarships.
The campus infrastructure is already in place for a full college residential experience, and includes amenities such as a dining facility with meal plans, a fitness center, pool, and recreational areas. Student housing is projected to increase student retention as support services such as tutoring, the library, Writing Center, Academic Support Center, and Career Services, are all within walking distance from the facility.
Speakers at the event include Dr. Tom LoBasso, DSC President; Dr. Randy Howard, DSC District Board of Trustees Chair; Garry Lubi, DSC District Board of Trustees member and DSC Housing Corporation Chair; Adrianne Toles-Williams, DSC Student Government Association President; and Cerese Ramos, Dean of Student Development.
