Air conditioning, new carpet, and new windows were added, and the bathrooms were upgraded. A study lounge was built on the second floor, and the co-ed lounge was moved and now includes a kitchen, large-screen television, and fireplace. The resident director’s apartment was also gutted and updated. 12,000 Cedarville women have called Maddox home for nearly 45 years. The renovation process this summer required 150 bags of mortar and 25,000 bricks!
