Edison State College offers tours of LightHouse Commons during June 23 open house
Prospective and incoming students and their families can learn more about LightHouse Commons and tour the 400-unit, on-campus residence hall during an open house on Saturday, June 23 from 9 a.m. to noon. Tour participants should report to the Taeni Hall Building ‘S’ on the Fort Myers campus for a guided tour of the facility, which is currently under construction. Information about enrollment and on-campus living for the fall semester will be available as well. More than 275 applicants have reserved rooms for the fall semester and applications are still being accepted.
“The open house offers prospective residents and their families a first-hand look at the rooms and amenities at LightHouse Commons and gives them a chance to ask questions,” says Amy Teprovich Ed.D., director of student life at Edison State College. “In addition, it gives families the chance to meet the resident assistants who will be providing guidance to the residents on the school and facility policies.”
The first on-campus living facility at any of the Edison State College campuses, LightHouse Commons is modeled after apartment-style living and feature two floor plan options to include a two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan and a four-bedroom, two-bath floor. The units feature private bedrooms, full kitchens with quality cabinets and fixtures, washers and dryers in each unit and stylish furniture. Meal plans will be available also in combination with leases, as well as payment plans starting as low as $600 per month including utilities.
Located on the west side of the Fort Myers campus, the 164,000-square-foot residence hall is scheduled for completion in August. LightHouse Commons offers an on-site recreation room, fitness center, mail center, two-story lobby and sitting area, conference room, and study room on each floor, and a private parking lot with parking available for each resident. The residence hall includes key card access for residents and a security officer in the lobby 24/7. A full-time Edison State College staff member will live in the facility, as well as resident advisers (RAs) to provide service to the students as needed.
Parents and students can learn more and reserve space by visiting the Student Life office on the Lee Campus or by calling 239-985-8361. In addition, applications and more information are available at http://housing.edison.edu.
