Chapter House – New Compactors, Service Court and Parking Lot Improvements

Over the summer, our chapter house infrastructure was improved with the addition of a new set of three vertical stack trash and recycling compactors that will replace the unsightly dumpster corral that blocked the view from our dining room. (Gone also will be the ever-popular, though the unsafe practice of dumpster target tossing from the fire escape!) The project, funded by University central resources, also including the regrading and repaving of the parking lot. These improvements will make way for a proposed reconstruction of the historic back porch, adjacent to the dining room and will provide an ADA-accessible entrance to the house. Architectural design for the porch is now underway for a planned summer 2021 installation.
