SUMMARY:Castleton College: Castleton Downtown Apartments Open House
DESCRIPTION:Castleton welcomes the greater Rutland community to come celebrate and gain an inside look at the University&rsquos newest Rutland project, as it hosts a Grand Opening for its new downtown Rutland apartments on September 15 from 4-7 p.m. in the Clement Building.
 The event will kick off with remarks by Castleton President Dave Wolk, building owner Mark Foley Jr., and Steve Costello of Green Mountain Power, all collaborative partners in the project. The open house will also feature a ribbon cutting, apartment tours, and light refreshments.
 &ldquoWe see this as an exciting addition to our current housing options, to Castleton&rsquos Rutland presence, and to the Solar Capital of New England and Energy City of the Future,&rdquo said Wolk, adding that the project represents a major commitment to Rutland, and would be followed by additional projects. &ldquoOur foundation will always be in Castleton, a place with more than 225 years of history and a bright future, but we will create our future growth in Rutland, strengthening our relationships and forging new opportunities for our students to make a difference.&rdquo
 Located in the heart of downtown Rutland, the two-floor, efficient apartment space is currently housing 40 Castleton students, and turns space that has been previously empty for decades into a prototype for downtown redevelopment and energy innovation. The sixteen apartment units are complete with kitchens and living space, as well as a shared common space and laundry on the second floor.
 Castleton partnered with GMP, Efficiency Vermont, and Foley to incorporate high-tech energy innovations in the space located on the second and third floors of the Clement Building, which sits at the northeast corner of West Street and Merchants Row. The Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Rutland Partnership, and Little Harry&rsquos Restaurant occupy the entire first floor.&nbsp
 The downtown student housing is the latest in the University&rsquos ongoing expansion into Rutland, which already hosts Castleton Downtown, the Castleton Polling Institute, the Castleton Center for Community Engagement, Spartan Arena, and several downtown art spaces including the Castleton Downtown Gallery. A recent partnership with the Rutland Economic Development Corporation has further solidified Castleton&rsquos commitment to being an economic and intellectual driver in the region. &nbsp
 The Castleton Plan, a strategic blueprint for the next ten years of the University, highlighted by new and enhanced graduate programs and increased opportunities for students in Rutland, is driving the initiative as the new housing option will greatly benefit graduate students and high-level undergraduate students interning and volunteering through the more than 400 community partnerships created through the Castleton Center for Community Engagement.
