Utilizing post-war federal housing funds in 1955, the college built Moen,Greaves, and Reeder Halls, the first women’s dormitories added to campus since Lund Hall in 1938. Three years later the college erected Richards and Bullen Halls for male students. In 1964, Mountain View and Valley View Towers added to the growing list of university housing. While these new buildings helped to ease some of the housing pressure, providing enough living space for the student body continues to challenge and change the university and its landscape to this day. In 1962, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) built and managed the David O. McKay Student Living Center. The facility catered to the university’s LDS student body and included both men’s and women’s dormitories. The university acquired the so-called “Morm Dorms” during the 1980s, retaining the Student Living Center designation, but renaming them in honor of university faculty and benefactors.&#13;
