Temporary Housing Update #2 - 8/30/06

Moves for temporary housing residents into permanent assignments are well on their way with over half of all temporary housing students having already been assigned!

Statistics for this week:

Last week: 49 students in temporary housing

Since then.....
33 permanent assignments made!
14 moves completed
12 moves scheduled for this week or early next week
7 move times still need to be scheduled

3 Donner doubles possibly remaining tripled


Where are temporary housing residents moving to?
Temporary housing residents are being assigned to residential areas throughout the University housing system. Here's where our temporary housing students have been assigned to so far.

6% - First-year areas (Morewood E, New House, Donner, Hamerschlag)
48% - Traditionally upper-class residence areas
45% - Oakland apartments

Temp Housing webpage up and running
A website has been created to provide students and families with information about temporary housing. The website address is http://www.housing.cmu.edu/buildings/temphousing/. Although this site will be especially useful when coordinating temporary housing for next year, it is out hope that temporary housing residents, their hosts, and families will find it useful now as well. Features include pictures of Morewood E and Donner temporary housing rooms, Frequently Asked Questions, and the weekly updates that are sent out each Wednesday.

Boxes!
If you need boxes to prepare for your move, just stop by the Housing and Dining Services office and let the front desk staff know that you're a temporary housing student in need of some boxes.

Sincerely,
Lisa Dippold
