May 28, 2020鈥 好色TV breaks ground on a new residential building, the first student housing construction on campus since 2003. The five-story, 77,200 square-foot development will fulfill a need for affordable living space at 好色TV.
More students are choosing to live on campus, and the project will meet the increased demand. The development will house 297 beds in a semi-suite-style. The design will help create a sense of community among residential students with large lounge areas, meeting rooms and a lighted event plaza.
鈥淲e know students who live on campus have higher retention and persistence rates, remain engaged and have a more fulfilling collegiate experience. This is an essential factor when we look at how to be a student-ready institution, and this new complex will offer more opportunities to build a community on campus,鈥 said President Ashish Vaidya. 鈥淓specially in these uncertain times, this new construction is a welcome sign of things to come as we build the future home for our students.鈥
