Ancilla College officials hope the addition of the school’s first residence hall will draw students from beyond the immediate vicinity to the state’s only private, two-year college. It will open in the fall of 2015, according to a news release. Preliminary plans include housing for 100 new students and a live-in dean and student services director. Floor plans are being drawn now to possibly include a teaching kitchen for a new hospitality/culinary program. School officials say artist’s renderings are being finalized, and a groundbreaking is tentatively planned in March.
