Item Information

Title:
Townhouses front view (August, 1998)
Description:
This photograph shows the front view of Springfield College's Townhouses taken from a lawn in front of the building (August, 1998). The middle and most of the left part of the Townhouses can be seen. Two trucks are parked beside the main entrance to the middle part of the building, one on the left and the other on the right. A large tree can be seen on the right side and a tree trunk can be seen in the middle of the photograph. The Townhouses were constructed in 1989 as senior apartment-style living and are still in use today. The building is located parallel to the Stagg football field and measures approximately 350 feet in length by 35 feet in width. The building has the capacity to house 160 students in total. The Townhouses consist of 20 units, and each unit is a separate residence with three floors, housing eight students. The 20 units are divided into two separate wings, each wing with 10 units. In the middle of the two wings is a conference center, a lounge, housing for the Residence Director, as well as the laundry room in the basement. The first floor of each Townhouse consists of a living room and kitchen and the second and third floors each have four rooms and one bathroom. All together this totals eight single bedrooms and two baths. All essential furniture, appliances, and utilities (heat and air conditioning) are included and laundry is shared by all tenants. All of the houses have access to a backyard, where students can enjoy cooking, socializing, or even watching a sporting event. The Wellness Center, now a part of the new Wellness Center/Physical Education Complex, was located in the basement of the townhouses. It was a 47,840-square-foot fitness area with weights and workout rooms. It opened in September 2008 and was moved by 2010. This basement space, as of 2013, is currently used to house the Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) department. The back of the photograph is printed with two lines and the first says "Aug. 1998 036, indicating the photograph was printed in August, 1998.
