South Hall Undergoes Renovation!

Date: 12/17/2009 to 1/17/2010
–Julian Sharp ’08, Manager of Volunteer Work

The Antioch College campus is abuzz with volunteers! Last week a team
of volunteers worked in South Hall to strengthen the structural
integrity of the building’s roof. The team was led by Jon Baker ’72 of
Chicago and David Scott ’72 of Yellow Springs, and also included John
Hempfling, Eva Erickson ’11 and Lincoln Alpern ’11, all of Yellow
Springs. The hard work of this group enabled us to accomplish a
project that otherwise would not have been feasible or would have cost
the College thousands of dollars.
