W
hile the Clovia experience is more than the bricks of
the chapter house, our home at 2067 Carter Avenue has
played a significant role in the development of our sisterhood
and shared values since we moved in in 1989. This project hopes
to address our immediate needs in creating a welcoming and
functional environment for our active members.
OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Throughout our history at the U, tradition, sincerity, and warmth
have been a central part of our sisterhood. Our goal is to maintain
that tradition while creating spaces that accommodate the needs
of modern college students for our next 90 years.
Our 109-year-old house has substantial issues that must be
addressed. The cost of upkeep on our current home is reaching the
point of diminishing returns. Accessibility is a major concern, as
are basic functions such as energy efficiency, electrical capacity,
and other safety features like a modern sprinkler system.
Perhaps more than anything, the needs of modern-day college
students have changed drastically, and our home is not laid out
or properly equipped to meet those requirements. With a new
space, we can continue making the best better.
