Since 1999, the building corporation has made many substantial improvements to the Chapter House, making the Epsilon Nu Chapter of Delta Tau Delta one of the most modern Fraternities on the UMR Campus. The amenities we provide the men of the Epsilon Nu Chapter allow them to concentrate on the fundamentals of the Fraternity, as proven by the 3 Court of Honor and 2 Hugh Shields Awards won in the last 5 years. This page summarizes the major projects the Building Corporation has undertaken in the last several years, and showcases planned future projects. I welcome anyone with questions about any aspect of property management for the Epsilon Nu Chapter to contact me.

Past Projects:

Expansion & Renovation – Phase I

Completed:	Fall 1999
Cost:	$500,000.00
Contractor:	Hogan Construction Co. of Rolla, MO
Description:	This project added 9 new 2-man sleep study rooms, a large multipurpose room, provisions for a future kitchen (Phase II), complete renovation of the restroom facilities and sleeping dorms, installation of central forced-air heating and air conditioning (we were the first fraternity on campus to have central air conditioning throughout the Chapter House), a new, larger parking lot, new sidewalks, and various other improvements throughout the House.

Window Replacement

Completed:	Summer 2002
Cost:	$15,650.00
Contractor:	Coverdell Glass of Waynesville, MO
Description:	This project replaced the original single-pane aluminum windows in the older half of the Chapter House with modern double-pane, gas-filled, vinyl clad windows. Wood trim was also added around the windows at this time, as well as aluminum mini-blinds.

Shed Project

Completed:	Summer 2002
Cost:	$3580.00
Description:	This project was led by former Director of Property Management Gary Greene, who, with the help of 11 undergraduates, constructed a 15’ x 18’ wood-frame shed to house the Chapter’s lawn equipment and other tools. The Alpha Omega Pledge Class poured the concrete slab and foundation the previous fall as their pledge class project.

New Kitchen Equipment (Expansion & Renovation Phase II)

Completed:	Summer 2004
Cost:	$23,825.00
Contractor:	Commercial & Restaurant Equipment of Camdenton, MO Vernon White Mechanical Contractors of Rolla, MO Korsmeyer Fire Protection of Jefferson City, MO Additional plumbing and carpentry work performed by alumnus’s Gary Greene and Brian Booth
Description:	Changes to fire safety codes in Rolla led to the Chapter House kitchen facing threat of condemnation in 2004. The kitchen, which had seen every few updates since the 1960’s, was also small and cluttered from the increase in membership resulting from the 1999 expansion. This project relocated the kitchen to the new wing of the House, and added a new range hood with fire suppression system, new sinks, a commercial grade automatic dishwasher, and new cabinetry. Also included was shelving for the new pantry. Both kitchen and pantry are approximately double the size of the former facilities.

Parking Lot Sealing & Striping

Completed:	Summer 2005
Cost:	$1,450.00
Contractor:	Pierce Asphalt & Sealing of Newburg, MO
Desctription:	To extend the life of the asphalt parking lot at the Chapter House, the entire lot was cleaned and coated with sealer. All the lines were then striped back in their original locations. This project also greatly improved the parking lots resistance to motor oil, gasoline, and de-icing salts.

Front Room Furniture Replacement

Completed:	Fall 2005
Cost:	$4,100.00
Description:	The tables and couches in the front room of the Chapter House had not been replaced in many years and were showing their age. Through generous alumni support, we were able to purchase replacements. The new couches are fully upholstered and look much less like ‘dorm furniture’ than the old ones, which was a recommendation of the undergraduates. They are also much more comfortable than the old couches, and are warranted against physical damage and staining.

Future Projects:

Professional Carpet Cleaning

Scheduled:	Summer 2006
Description:	The existing carpet has been in the Chapter House for nearly 7 years and is beginning to show its age. Carpet cleanings with rental equipment are no longer able to remove all the dirt that has become embedded in the carpeting. Commercial steam cleaning will make the House more presentable to alumni, active members, rushees, families, and friends in time for our 40th Anniversary at Homecoming 2006.

Upstairs Hall Bathroom Remodeling

Scheduled:	To Be Determined
Description	This bathroom was originally the master bathroom of the Chapter House when it was a family dwelling. This project would replace the plumbing fixtures, sinks, cabinetry, flooring, and wall tiling, as well as remove the existing unused door from the 5-man study and add additional closet space to that room.
