Although it's a new thing for the University, it is really very common.

This is state of the art technology that will put us ahead of most other universities because most other universities don't have this technology.

For students, it will seem like any other residence hall. They are going to be run by our department. They build it; we run it.

The numbers are very good, but they didn't exceed what we expected.

We expect to be able to accommodate all of the residents who want to remain in Palmer and any women who want to move there. If no one [from Somerville] is interested in moving to Palmer, then we would not open it up to the general [female] population.

I do think that the staff in a suite-style residence hall has to take into consideration that helping students develop that sense of community may be a little more challenging. The staff, therefore, has to be a little more creative in their programming and their efforts at building community.
