This multi-phase project will completely transform the west end of campus. New residence halls will integrate dining, study areas, and Living & Learning Community space into a village-style, student-focused community.
Construction is underway on two new residence halls on the site of the old Shelbourne Towers apartment building on Twentieth Street, just off Caledonia Avenue.
See current images and a time-lapse show of the construction here. The halls are scheduled for completion in time to open for the fall semester 2016.
The 104,670-square-foot residence hall slated to open in August will feature 378 beds in 161 rooms. Each floor in this hall contains a main lobby lounge, two study rooms and a kitchen. A laundry room is located on the main level.
