This photograph shows the back entrance to Springfield College's dormitory, Senior Suites. A semi-circled brick structure is shown in front of the entrance and a student can be seen walking towards the entrance. The photograph is probably taken at dusk. The Senior Suites, the 60,400 square foot new four-story residence hall, was constructed by Fontaine Brothers, Inc., a local general contractor,in 2003. Construction of the $10 million building was part of an on-going project of facilities improvement, and this was the first new residence hall built since the construction of the Townhouses fourteen years previously. The official groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 30, 2003 at 11am and it was ready for occupancy in September, 2004. The suites are senior suite-style living located right across the green from the Townhouses and are still in use today. The building is the most modern of the residence halls and houses 204 students. It contains a total of 39 four-person suites and eight six-person suites.
