Iowa State Daily: Iowa State University’s Oak-Elm Residence Hall is officially closing for the 2020-2021 academic year due to a high number of vacancies and budget cuts. The closure had been in discussion since February. Residents have been given time to find other arrangements and make new preferences for the upcoming year. The current plan for Oak-Elm is to rebuild demand and reopen the building for student housing in the future.
