Robeson family will close dormitory

CHAMPAIGN – Robeson Hall will close as a dormitory for Parkland students, but its developers promise something will rise from the east side of West Side Park.

Eric Robeson said Thursday that the last students will leave the former hotel in August, and anything from a renovation to a new building will take place on the property.
