Sunday marked the one year anniversary of the explosion at Argenta Hall. The incident in 2019 sent shock waves throughout the University of Nevada campus. Over that year the university’s staff has been looking for solutions for students.
Dean Kennedy, UNR’s Executive Director of Residential Life has been tasked with creating plans to accommodate students who want to live on campus. Argenta Hall is still under construction and isn’t scheduled to be finished until 2021, he said. Nye Hall – which was also damaged by the explosion – should be ready in the next two months.
