The TI House is Complete
In December 2006, the IEP took over the former Chi Phi Fraternity building adjacent to the IEP House. You will see in the pictures below that the house was in very bad repair and needed extensive renovations. Thanks to help from several donors, especially IEP Board Chair Heidi Kirk Duffy, the Texas Instruments Corporation, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, the Max Kade Foundation, and the Boxer family, the house was entirely rebuilt between December 2006 and September 2007. The pictures below will take you through the renovation process, from the date of possession until the move-in for the fall semester 2007. The TI House is home for 37 IEP students and the Director and Assistant Director of the program. Among its features are:
- new kitchen and dining facilities for residents of both houses.
- the Max Kade German Language Learning Community (second floor).
- the Spanish IEP floor (third floor).
- a state-of-the-art videoconferencing facility.
