Olivet College will dedicate its new Gillette Student Village apartment-style housing facility during a ceremony Saturday, Sept. 13 at 11:30 a.m. The $1.7 million project was financed in part by J. Robert Gillette, a 1963 alumnus of the college.

The ceremony will be held at the new facility, one block south of campus. Gillette, college officials and Olivet students will participate in the event.

The Gillette Student Village offers 36 Olivet students a modern alternative for on-campus housing. The two-story building houses nine four-bedroom units complete with two bathrooms, living, dining and laundry rooms and a fully-furnished kitchen.

Construction on the facility began last fall with a groundbreaking ceremony held Sept. 15, 2007.
