Bridgewater College is honoring its president by giving the school's latest housing complex his name.

Mounds of dirt sit on what will soon be called Stone Village, in honor of Bridgewater's outgoing president, Phillip C. Stone.

The housing unit will resemble a townhouse neighborhood with porches in a modified-Victorian style.

The school says Stone elevated the quality of staff and helped secure the school financially.

Student enrollment at Bridgewater has nearly doubled since stone took over as president in 1994.

"He's a very humble man and if you talk to him he really will not tell you how accomplished he is or you can't really learn that so we decided to name something after him," says Nathan Miller Bridgewater's chairman of the board.

Miller says president Stone did not want a campus building named after him. Stone felt a housing complex was a better fit.
