Video: Renovated Umrath Hall opens, ready for next generation of WUSTL scholars

http://youtu.be/gajdU3D868YA newly renovated Umrath Hall opened for the fall semester on the Danforth Campus. Umrath Hall was built in 1902 as a men’s dormitory with small rooms, narrow hallways and limited entrances and exits, making the building less-than-ideal for academic uses. The yearlong renovation, which began in June 2011, retained Umrath’s historic exterior but included a complete reconstruction of the building’s interior and a new roof, giving the century-old building a new life.
