Dorm, sweet dorm
The new Gardenia Way Residence Hall
On Presidents Day weekend, nearly a thousand students who have been living in Dykstra Hall, one of UCLA's oldest residence halls, will go on the move. They will pack up their textbooks, laptops and Bruin T-shirts and, at carefully assigned times and in partnership with their current roommates, begin a new chapter at the university.
Aided by staff and student helpers, as well as approximately 400 large carts and flatbed trucks, the students will move their belongings from the 50-plus-year-old Dykstra and travel roughly 300 feet (as the crow flies) to another part of "The Hill."
Awaiting them will be the newest of the university's accommodations: the 10-story Holly Ridge and the seven-story Gardenia Way. The move began early this morning (Feb. 17) and will continue through to Sunday.
