Alfred State College hosted an open house for the local community at the new townhouse-style residence halls before students moved in to begin the new academic year.The townhouses, six buildings boasting six single bedrooms per unit, full kitchens, and two+ lavatories, as well as a commons building designed for socializing, meetings, and which houses the laundry facilities, were constructed over the past two years at a cost of $14 million.
