The Southeast Missouri State University Board of Governors has approved the demolition of four vacant and offline structures-Henderson Hall and three International Village cottages (C, D, and E)-as part of ongoing efforts to enhance campus safety, efficiency, and beautification. Henderson Hall, a former residence hall, has been unoccupied since the 2018-2019 academic year. The building lacks ADA accessibility and sprinkler systems and has sustained water damage and mold growth.The three International Village cottages, which have also remained vacant since 2018, require major renovations due to wood frame infrastructure concerns, significant water infiltration, and asbestos. These buildings, previously leased to Cottonwood, are no longer able to be used by the University.
