New Boarding House for College

Boarders at Fairfield and Collage Houses at Nelson Collage will be looking forward to the completion of the now boarding house being built close to Rutherford and Bar-nicoat Houses. The new hostel, to accommodate 110 boys, is to be named Fell House, and is expected to be completed towards the end of March next year. The boys who are at present in residence at College (in Waimea Road) and Fairfield (at the end of Trafalgar Street) houses, will move into the new hostel. These two hostels have more than outlived their usefulness. The new building is to cost about £96,000.
