New Tabor dorm gets $750,000 grant

Tabor College’s $5.55 million new residence hall last week received a $750,000 grant from Sunderland Foundation, a Kansas City charity funded by heirs to the Ash Grove Cement Co.

It was Tabor’s eighth grant from Sunderland. Previous grants helped pay for the Shari Flaming Center for the Arts, Shari Flaming Welcome Center, and the townhouses of Hiebert, Loewen, and Wiebe Halls.

The new residence hall at Adams and B Sts. will have 28 double rooms, 12 single rooms, and 6 triple rooms.
