             TOWN HALL AT ABAC PLACE A HUGE HIT WITH STUDENTS

 

Town Hall at ABAC Place is a big hit for the students of Abraham Baldwin College. The Town Hall is an activity center for the residents of ABAC Place apartments and the students of ABAC.

Bernice Hughes, Director of Student Life and Housing said, “The students just love it, especially the 24 hour access to the fitness center and computer labs for all those late-niters.”

The 10,000 square foot facility includes a 24 hour access fitness center and computer lab, an activity room, a community room, leasing and management offices, ATM machine and Value Transfer Station, retail space for a convenience store, and a prominent clock tower with an ABAC Stallion weather vane

Students are not the only people impressed with the Town Hall. “The faculty and staff say it’s so surprising to see at ABAC. It’s like a dream come true. Everyone has just been quite pleased,” Hughes said.

            ABAC Place will be an 835 bed state-of-the-art facility that will provide hi-tech resources along with all the comforts of home.  Each apartment is fully furnished with finished kitchens that include all major appliances.  Every bedroom has a full size bed, a built in desk with shelves and a two-position study chair, hide-away storage, a five drawer dresser, and individual connections for phone, cable and Internet.
