New Girls' Dorm Graces the FFS Campus

Published: Thursday, July 8, 2010 7:00 am

Under construction for almost two years, the new 9,100-sq. ft. girls' dormitory on the FFS campus is now finished and happily occupied. After the maintenance department put the finishing touches on the building in June, the girls wasted no time packing up and moving from the old dorms into their spacious new quarters where they have quickly settled in. 

Virtually all of the construction was performed by the FFS maintenance department under the direction of Ed Anderson. Throughout the project, the maintenance staff continued its routine upkeep of the campus, which made for some long hours.  As for the girls, they are grateful for the hard work done on their behalf and are thilled with the new space, especially the bathrooms and closet space. Each family of girls has two bathrooms equipped with two sinks, two showers, and two walk-in closets. Anderson's crew is now hard at work removing the old mobile home dorms and hauling them away to new owners. The next job will be landscaping the campus hillside where the dorms once stood.
