The Whitley renovations, which saw a complete overhaul of the entire first floor, were described in the publication as a student-centric project that offers engaging, collaborative and relaxed spaces for first-year students. Whitley Hall, completed in 1970, is the oldest residence hall still in use at A&M-Commerce and remains an iconic landmark of the Commerce skyline, standing 12 stories tall.
