Longtime dorm fixture demolished at Cedarville University, making room for growth
It's been a bittersweet moment for students and alumni at Cedarville University as demolition crews tore down Williams Hall. It holds many memories for people who once lived in the dorm hall. Director of Gift Planning for Cedarville University, Roscoe Smith, said, 'When I arrived on campus in the fall of 1978 as a 17-year-old freshman, I was housed in Williams Hall, which at the time was a men's dorm.'

He said it was fun reliving the memories as he watched it come down. 'Playing way too much foosball. We had a lounge up on the second floor with a foosball table, and we had tournament after tournament,' Smith said. He continued by saying, 'It's the people that made the difference, not the building.' Williams Hall was transitioned in 1981 to house campus offices, beginning with student services. In recent years, it has been home to several academic departments. This is one of the final steps to rebuilding the campus. The Bolthouse Academic Center will be built at that location, costing $35 million. 'That will house offices, classrooms, student collaboration space, conference rooms for many of our liberal arts programs,' Smith said. He continued by saying it's pivotal for the school's growth. 'It's thrilling to see what Cedarville is continuing to move forward in advance, especially in today's higher ed market, which is very, very challenging,' Smith said. Cedarville University said they plan to have the new academic center open by the Fall semester of the 2027-28 school year with a total of three floors. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Cleanup begins for fire pile, an eyesore that sat untouched for 8 months
Crews are finally cleaning up piles of debris after a fire destroyed the Cornell Meat Market eight months ago. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] News Center 7's Mike Campbell visits the lot as work to clean up the destroyed building begins LIVE on News Center 7 at 5:30 p.m. The people who live near the former meat market have been frustrated after cleanup was delayed for months. The former site owner hired a contractor after heavy pressure from the city, but it still took a week of stops and starts to see any progress. TRENDING STORIES: Officer shoots armed man after he runs from them; Police to provide update Israel strikes Iran; 'All of Israel under attack' from retaliatory missiles Over 400K driver's license suspensions removed under new Ohio law Crews have been telling the city for the past five days that clean up would begin, but there have been unexpected delays. Monday, the contractors didn't have the proper environmental structure. Tuesday, they didn't have a required water meter, so they could spray the site, if needed. Thursday, they learned the nearest fire hydrant wouldn't work with their equipment. Friday, fixes for their fire hydrant problem failed until the afternoon. 'Friday, we had completed the removal of all the fencing, all the barriers, so they could start Monday,' Steve Gondol, who works for the City of Dayton, said. Gondol says there have been a lot of obstacles getting to this stage after the market burned down last Halloween. The city finally began the legal process in March to force the former owner to coordinate cleanup after not getting cooperation. Meanwhile, the mountains of debris sat, posing a hazard to curious kids, and was the source of trash blowing into nearby yards. Not to mention it became an illegal dumping ground until the city put up the fences. People who live nearby are upset the market is gone. 'Yeah, it is kind of sad about it, how it happened, how it burned down,' Derrick Porter from Dayton said. But they're ready for an eyesore to be erased. 'For people to get started with this stuff, I guess hey, it's a good thing. It's a good thing when stuff comes together like that,' Porter said. Once the working crews work through all their delays, the cleanup will not be a fast, overnight process. Contractors estimate it could take between two to four weeks to remove the piles of debris from the site to EPA approved landfills. The City of Dayton says it has close to 70 fire piles that need to be cleaned up. Since these are all vacant buildings with no owner, the city will have to pay for the cleanup process, which is estimated to cost around $30,000 per pile.
