Students, faculty and invited guests watched as Yerevan State University (YSU) Rector Aram Simonyan cut the ribbon at the opening of a newly renovated student dormitory  on Tzarav Aghbyur Street in the Armenian capital.

Renovation of the dormitory, which can house from 300-500 students, was co-financed by Gourgen Asadourian, from the United States, and YSU.

A YSU press release says that each dormitory floor will feature a kitchen, shower unit and a laundry room.

The release fails to mention the cost of the renovation.
