NEW ORLEANS (BP) – Sixteen two-bedroom apartments at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary will be ready for student families early this summer – just in time for the 2010-11 school year.

Seminary trustees approved the new apartments during their fall meeting in October 2009 and construction began on the $2.7 million project in November. Thanks to good weather and a dedicated construction crew, the project remains on schedule for a June completion. During their spring meeting April 14, seminary trustees toured the construction site to see the progress firsthand.
