The Residential Living office will finally move into its permanent home located in Centennial Hall, right next to the Wesley Center, on Nov. 1.

Their current location is in a temporary building behind the cafeteria, which has caused some confusion in the minds of some students.

“The Residential office is over by the police station,” freshman Abbey Coufal said. This mistake is understandable since the office is not even sited on the West Texas A&M campus map. Previously, the Residential Living office was located in the old security building.“Our old location was not convenient for students. It wasn’t as big and it had leaks and critters,”  Jon Behrens, senior director of Residential Living, said. The “critters” in question were snakes and mice that periodically intruded.

“Prior to the mobile home it was located in the intramural field which was very inconvenient. I’m really excited about it becoming more centralized to campus and becoming more convenient, especially for Centennial,” Ronnie Hall, the Area Coordinator, said.

The new office consists of multiple spacious offices and the peace of mind that it is permanent. Due to the continuous expansion of WT, the Residential Living office has had to move in order to make way for Buff Hall and the intramural fields.

“We are excited to get over to Centennial,” said Jon Behrens.
