NEW YORK CAMPUS
Argentina Dorm
The newest girls’ residence hall opened September 2017 on the New York campus. Eric Cordis (’84), Word of Life Engineer since 2000, designed the dormitory building and managed the project. The building is 9,000-square feet with 4,500-square feet on the main floor. It features a key swipe entry and houses 32 girls in eight suites with a central lounge. The building is high efficiency with LED lighting throughout, individual room heat control, redundant high-efficiency boilers, and a high-efficiency water heater with a recirculating loop so there is instant hot water in all the rooms. Each room has a continuous air exchanger which brings moist air out of the bathrooms, runs the exhaust air through a heat exchanger to recover heat from the air stream, and returns outdoor air which is warmed by the exhaust to each sleeping area. The bottom floor contains campus security offices and a laundry facility. The fire sprinkler system installation was donated by Scott Treverton (’85), and longtime volunteer, Kevin Caswell , donated the rough plumbing install. The building crew was mostly alumni: Eric Cordis (’84), Doug Bensen , Ralph Deshetsky (‘ 96 &’97), Pat Murphy (’05 & ’07), Carl Rambow (‘08), AustinWorden (’13), Nate Cousins (’15), Tom Sobek (’96)*. * Not pictured
