The official opening of the new University residential hall took place on Monday, October 26, 2009 at Muak Lek campus. During the program, University president Dr Warren Shipton acknowledged several key donors and people who contributed towards the construction of the dormitory. Among them were Geneva Beatty Bendelius, Chan Shun International Foundation, Mr and Mrs Kiti and Tasanee Taychachaiwongse, and Mr and Mrs Clyde and Kathy Willy. “Many people, both small and big givers, put a lot of effort and enthusiasm into this building,” added Dr Shipton.
In his thoughts of praise, Southeast Asia Union Mission president Pastor Ronald Townend mentioned that building the dormitory reminded him of two Bible stories; Nebuchadnezzar and Solomon. Unlike Nebuchadnezzar, Solomon praised God instead of himself on the construction of a magnificent temple. Likewise, Pastor Ronald Townend echoes Solomon’s attitude. “I believe as we are here for this official opening of this residential hall, we can say look at what God has done.” He added, “We have a wonderful campus here, beautiful location and now we have this building that will be a blessing to many students. I know that God’s blessings will continue to rest upon Asia-Pacific International University.” A ribbon-cutting ceremony followed the dedication prayer by Pastor Samart Wongnaphaphaisan.
All faculty, staff, students and visitors were then invited to enter the new residence.
The name for the new dormitory was revealed. It is now called the Solomon Hall.
