Historic Home Will Be Moved Three Blocks
To make way for new Marquette sorority building, 1885 home at 16th and Kilbourn moving to lot on 19th St. By Jeramey Jannene - Apr 15th, 2021 08:23 am //end headline wrapper ?>House at 853 N. 16th St. Awaits Relocation. Photo by Jeramey Jannene.
The sisters of Pi Beta Phi are getting a new sorority house near Marquette University.
But the location they’ve selected to build a new structure on already has a house on it. At least for now.
Instead of demolishing the house, property developer Cedar Square is relying on a tactic that was much more common a century ago. The two-story, 1664-square-foot house at 853 N. 16th St. will be rolled three blocks west onto a new foundation at 950 N. 19th St.
Briana Zegler: ‘Everyone was so willing to help me succeed.’
An encounter with an EMU Admissions representative during a campus tour was all Briana Zegler needed to know she’d picked the right university.
“The representative pulled me and my dad aside from the tour group to review what scholarships I’d receive and to discuss what my program would be like,” says Zegler, who is from Schaumburg, Illinois, and is in EMU s 150-hour Accounting program [BBA + MS]. “The staff and faculty I met were already so willing to help me succeed in college, I knew Eastern was home.”
Zegler says Eastern’s investment in her success has continued throughout her academic career.
While the COVID-19 vaccine has now become available to the UT community, this does not mean that the pandemic is over.
Active COVID-19 cases are nowhere near as high as they were in the fall 2020 semester, but in the past couple of weeks, new clusters have emerged at UT.
For reference, a cluster is defined as âat least five positive cases and/or at least 20 close contacts as a result of one event or in one concentrated location,â according to UTâs COVID-19 website.
On March 25, clusters were found in both the Phi Mu and Sigma Kappa houses in Sorority Village. On March 26, there was a cluster found in an off-campus private residence at the 1800 block of Melrose Avenue, and on March 28, another clusterâs point of origin was at various off campus gatherings: the 700 block of South 17th Street and the Kappa Kappa Gamma house.
