The dorm will be a three-story building located on the corner of Kings Highway and Seventh Street. It will feature brownstone, front and back porches, and an outdoor community space.
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held Thursday, October 31 at 1:00 p.m. Grace president Bill Katip will be present for the ceremony, along with Dr. James Custer, chairman of the board, Dr. Jim Swanson, vice president for academic and student services, Aaron Crabtree, dean of students, Bruce Shaffner, Winona Lake town council president, Grace student body president, Jackie Seal , future resident director of Lancer Lofts, Victoria Casey, Kevin Scully, partner at Design Collaborative, and Drew Mitchell and Larry Mudd, both vice presidents of development for Holladay Properties.
The dorm is a project of Design Collaborative, the architect firm that designed the Lodge and the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center, and is developed by Holladay Properties, a South Bend, Indiana–based commercial real estate firm.
