WWU residence hall project is a month late in completion

Students are back on Western Washington University's campus, but a residence hall expansion that was supposed to be completed over the summer remains unfinished.

Crews are still working on an addition to the Buchanan Towers residence hall at the south end of campus. The $14.3 million project was supposed to have "substantial completion" by Aug. 16, according to the contract between the university and the general contractor, Ebenal General, Inc. The project was started in July 2009.
