Located on university-owned property on the campus of The University of Texas at El Paso, this Project will provide housing and support amenities for incoming Freshman. The site of the new residence hall will be the north side of Kidd Field as set out in the 2024 Campus Masterplan (available on UTEP’s website). The existing stadium seating in this area will be demolished as part of the project. Consisting of single and double occupancy rooms configured in pods with suitestyle bathrooms, the 225-250 bed co-ed dormitory style student housing complex will be economical in nature and will have a 30-year life span. This project will also include a dining hall with associated kitchen that will accommodate the 225-250 student residents (mandatory meal plan), plus a portion of the approximately 425 residents at the neighboring Miner Village Student Housing facility. The kitchen equipment will be included in the CCL. Site planning efforts should accommodate an additional similarly styled 225-250 future dormitory, proportional dining hall/kitchen with capacity to meet the needs of the future dormitory and structured parking. Permanent parking for the Project is assumed to be provided within the existing campus parking capacity.
