Frels Building
The Frels Apartment Building was a three-story, 36,139 square-foot dormitory in the central part of campus. It was originally one of five individual housing units constructed on what was the then-eastern border of the campus along Avenue I. It was located between the Wilson Apartment Buiding and Lowman Student Center.During the early 1980s, the need for more academic classroom space and campus beautification efforts resulted in many of the housing units being demolished. The remaining Frels and Wilson buildings were last used for student housing in the early 1990s and then renovated into offices for various administrative areas. Long-rumored for demolition, it was announced in September 2004 that Frels would be razed before decade's end [1]; demolition occurred over the winter 2006 break. With the buildings gone, the area was converted into Bearkat Plaza, an expanded mall area.
