Whitmyre Hall was a topic of discussion at the IUP Council of Trustees meeting on Thursday.
In his comments, University President Michael Driscoll said that the plan is that while classes will continue to be held in Whitmyre hall, members of the Robert E. Cook Honors College will not live there starting next year and will live in a living-learning community in one of the suite-style residence halls. While Whitmyre Hall has been listed in the long-range facilities master plan, that plan has not been approved yet and reports that Whitmyre is slated to be demolished are not true, but there are plans to retain the ideas of Cook Honors College’s living spaces.
In other business, the council approved resolutions certifying university external financial support for the Foundation for IUP, the Student Cooperative, Residential Revival Indiana, the Alumni Association, and the University Research Institute. The next meeting for the Council of Trustees will be March 7th of 2024.
