Hidden water dorms12/7/2022 This tells you two things about why Target is one of the best places to shop for college bedding: In fact, my daughters kept using these jersey knit twin XL sheets after they moved out of the dorm and no longer needed the extra long.

The Thunderbird building is one that the Facilities Masterplan intended to remain in place for the foreseeable future, as its foundations house the second biggest water cistern on the property, so it is a vital part of our water infrastructure.

Sharing accommodation has been an option at The Haven since its founding, and many lifelong friendships have come about in this way, not to mention frequent opportunities to practice the Communication Model!Īs with so many of our projects, we are able to move forward thanks to the generous support of a donor. Through the rest of the year, we want to offer a range of accommodation options to make it possible for as many participants as possible to stay at The Haven. Every year in the summer we struggle to provide high quality, high density accommodation for our growing numbers of youth leaders. The need for dorms became clear to us as we were developing the Facilities Masterplan. Both were closely involved with the Masterplan and are excited to see this project come into being.
