9/1/2006 - The College began construction of Mastronardi Residence Hall in June 2006.  The building will house nearly 200 students in double occupancy rooms and provide additional lounge, study and meeting spaces.  The need for the new residence hall is critical, as current residence halls are filled to capacity and the proportion of resident to commuter students increases every year.

Scheduled to open in 2007, the building is named in honor of Valerie E. and Nicholas D. Mastronardi.   The Mastronardis currently serve as co-chairs of the College’s Capital Campaign, Building Our Future.  Valerie is an alumna of the College and currently serves on the Board of Trustees, and Nick is a former trustee of the College.

In announcing the naming of the new Residence Hall for the Mastronardis in June 2005 Maureen A. Henegan, Chair of the Board of Trustees, said, “Their support, service and dedication, not only to the College but also to so many organizations in the Archdiocese of New York, are impressive and uncommon.  We at the College of Mount Saint Vincent are deeply grateful to you both, we’re proud of you, and we’re so pleased to honor you both.”
