New construction is always exciting. Congratulations indeed to everyone at UBD who has been involved in this project.
I'm not sure if the name "residential college" as it's being used here is another term for "student hostel," or if it refers to the kind of residential college found at many international universities, with faculty members in residence, common dining, and a calendar of co-curricular events through the year. But if that's the kind of residential college you have planned, I cordially invite everyone at UBD to visit "The Collegiate Way: Residential Colleges and the Renewal of University Life":
http://collegiateway.orgIt's the leading resource on the worldwide trend to improve university life through the creation of residential colleges, and it contains hundreds of pages of recommendations, examples, and news from around the world. The news page is here:
