34th Street Housing

July, 2007  

University Housing updates

We're trying out this new "news" section of the University Housing website. Rather than constantly send out emails with updates, we'll do one of these periodically and it will always be available on the site. Some folks want newsletters, others don't. Hopefully, this is a healthy mix!

Upcoming project this summer :: Lock changes
We recently purchased a patened key system for 34th Street housing and will be migrating the interior locks in all properties to the new system.

The new system will provide better security, more accountability, and a better asthetic look. Most houses will be getting new door knob sets as well.

The grill out back
The grill has been very popular since it was fixed at the start of the season. To ensure fairness, we've instituted a $5 charge for each four-hour block of time it is used. Reserve the grill online at www.drexel.edu/housing/34th

Recycling
Our recycling efforts on the exterior of the houses didn't have the outcomes originally forcasted. We will continue to offer recycling in the green enclosed pen behind the 210 N. 34th Street house.

New House Directors!
Joanna Holmes and Sarah McIntyre joined the House Director staff this month. Both are new graduate students and have hit the ground running. Please help us welcome Joanna and Sarah to our team!

It's also always important to let your house manager and/or house director know of concerns as well.
