The walls and roof of the former Kraus Hall came down July 6 as the demolition of the former Slippery Rock University residence hall began. Built in 1966, the hall was originally known as "The Riviera," a privately owned facility belonging to Stanley Kraus. Kraus donated the hall to the University in 1982. The hall, valued at $4.5 million at that time, was the largest gift ever received by the University. It continued to house students until 2009.
