Founders Hall

Last updated on Oct 24, 2024

Founders Hall opened in Fall 2020 and is home to all CCA students. Benefitting from thoughtful design plans in its brand-new build, there is no recirculation of air in the building; the system uses only fresh, filtered outside air, and most spaces have operable windows for increased air flow.
