Mills Construction completed a comprehensive renovation of Waneta Hall at South Dakota State University, transforming key shared spaces throughout the residence hall. The project included the complete renovation of two restrooms per floor across three floors, totaling six restroom areas. Each floor featured a main restroom along with individual single-occupancy, unisex restrooms. The scope involved full demolition and reconstruction, including all new plumbing, heating, and electrical systems. Restroom layouts were reconfigured from traditional gang-style facilities to modern, single-compartment designs. Updated finishes included high-end toilet partitions, solid-surface wall systems, and select tile accents to elevate both durability and aesthetics. Beyond the restrooms, the project also refreshed the building’s laundry rooms, corridors, student kitchen, and lobby areas. Except for individual residence rooms, nearly all common spaces in Waneta Hall were renovated to create a cohesive, modern environment. Once considered one of SDSU’s more dated residence halls, Waneta Hall has been transformed into a highly desirable living space—now frequently requested by students for on-campus housing.
