New Dorm At School Of Mines To House 200 Students

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A new student dormitory is going up on the campus of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.

The Rapid City university says enrollment has increased 35 percent over the last six years, which has led to a demand for more housing. The new dorm will be able to house 200 students.

The South Dakota Board of Regents last week approved the building that will be built west of campus.

The regents require freshmen and sophomores to live on campus.

The six-story building will offer 51 suite-style units and is expected to be finished in time for fall semester in 2016.
