Two residence halls to see renovation work BY CAIN MADDEN The Daily Mississippian
Ian Banner, University of Mississippi facilities planning director, said the University has started the renovation of Stockard and Martin by installing a canopy around the buildings. Banner said the $123,000 project might inconvenience pedestrian traffic around the residence halls, as traffic is redirected to keep residents away from the installation. “We are installing a pedestrian canopy around the buildings,” Banner said. “It gives them cover as they walk around
in and out of the building.” Road traffic will be unaffected during the work. Banner said this project will be relatively short, spanning only three to four weeks, depending on the weather. The next step, following the canopy installation, will be masonry work from the 7th floor to the top of the buildings, Banner said. He said the University is still working out the details on the project. Stockard and Martin Halls were built in 1969, and each houses 500 freshmen. Stockard is an all-male residence hall, and Martin is all-female.
