A New Location for Packages

This past summer, several areas of Housing worked to put together the Package Center, a central hub for Lakeshore packages. Staff and residents in Lakeshore, except those in Waters, should now pick up packages at the Package Center in lower Holt instead of their hall desk (Waters packages can still be picked up at the hall desk). Thank you to all involved in getting this new location running!
