The residence hall is the largest housing facility on the Tigerville Campus.


Major gifts and volunteer professional labor helped NGU complete significant upgrades to the facility last summer. Interior and exterior painting, instal- lation of new vanities and plumbing fixtures and electrical outlets and switches, and new window blinds were among the improvements for students.


The building’s 30 bathrooms were upgraded with a new epoxy flooring surface, new toilets, exhaust fans, and showerheads.


Work is continuing in Bruce Hall during the summer of 2021 as new luxury vinyl tile flooring is installed in all of the housing rooms.


Crusader Court


Crusader Court consists of 22 duplex-style apart- ments, with each housing five to six students, resulting in the entire area accommodating approxi- mately 250 residents. The apartments include three bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom. In the summer of 2020, several unit were upgraded with new paint, luxury vinyl tile flooring, and blinds. The work was part of a new cyclical maintenance program for the apartment units.


Outdoor Basketball Court


A gift from Richard and Sharone Wood of Greer allowed NGU to resurface the outdoor basketball court adjacent to Todd Dining Hall. A red and gray paint scheme unique to North Greenville adorns the newly named “Wood Court.” The project provides an upgraded outdoor recreation area and enhanc- es both the playing service and a popular campus venue’s overall appearance.


Self and Trustee Halls

common “living room” space in both buildings was modernized with new furniture and decorative fixtures.


NGU Clinic and Counseling Services


Located at West Crain 111, on the southern edge of the Tigerville Campus, the newly renovated NGU Clinic and Counseling Services building provides a staffed health and counseling support center for the University community.


The Clinic, staffed by Nurse Practitioner Eunice Parajohn and Registered Nurse Helen Neely, is open for in-clinic visits along with walk-in appoint- ments. Two professional counselors also operate from offices at the building.


Renovations in this facility include new flooring, two new restrooms, fresh paint, furnishings for three offices, two waiting areas, and an exam room, as well as medical equipment and supplies.


Services at the clinic include treating minor illnesses and injuries, lab orders, medication prescriptions, and wellness education.


Neely is a registered nurse with experience working in acute, outpatient, and pediatric nursing environ- ments. Her nursing background includes work with Greenville County Schools, and in varied ICU and pediatric specialty roles with Prisma Health. She also worked for the International Mission Board in

“I enjoy meeting students and serving them. I con- sider nursing my mission as well as my vocation,” said Neely.


Vice President for Campus Ministries and Student Engagement Jody Jennings said, “Many of our stu- dents do not have a primary physician in the area and finding one in a timely fashion can be difficult.”


Jennings says the Clinic will fill the need for rou- tine, non-emergency medical care without requiring a copay or insurance.


Renovation Work Continues This Summer


Campus renovation projects during the summer of 2021 include on-going housing renovations, working around the needs of approximately 700 middle school and high school students who will visit Tigerville for seven weeks of CentriFuge and MissionFuge camps.


NGU is completing major work in Arnold and Pauline Emery Residence Hall, which houses women.


The University also is working on a major reno- vation of Younts Fitness Center, with installation of new exercise and fitness equipment, new fixtures in the locker room and shower areas, upgraded flooring, and other renovations for the main fitness facility on the Tigerville Campus.
