McComas Village and Horton International House
Abstract
Description
McCOMAS VILLAGE - Year of Construction: 1989; $7.4 million. Architects: Munger, Munger and Associates, Inc. McComas Village assumed occupancy in the Fall semester of 1990. "The Village", as it was called, was built in efforts to move fraternity and sorority housing on campus after complaints to the university about Greek Life's disruptiveness and hazing. Groups were moved to the seven-unit facility so that the university could better monitor fraternity and sorority activity. The Village still stands today and remains both housing and a community for the University of Toledo's Greek Life. <br /><br />HORTON INTERNATIONAL HOUSE - Year of Construction: 1994; $14.5 million. Architects: SFA Architects. The Horton International House, known to students as "I-House," stands 6-stories tall, and can house up to 400 students, 300 from the United States, and 100 from around the world. It provides an multicultural living environment intended to act as a focal point for international student activities. Originally named simple the International House, the building was renamed to Horton International House in 1998 after Dr. Frank Horton, the 13th President of the University, who served from 1989-1998.
