This project will provide new student housing and dining facilities in multiple phases to address increased demand driven by enrollment growth and the freshman live-on-campus requirement. The phased project will construct about 3000 traditional and semi-suite style student beds and a new 1500-seat dining facility on Central Campus and will have a focus on sustainability. New construction is anticipated as follows: - ~800,000 GSF of housing - ~100,000 GSF of dining - ~25,000 GSF of student life space Three existing student housing buildings, a dining facility, and a small service building at the end of their useful lives will be demolished as part of this multi-phase project. To meet financial goals the bed count must increase with each phase of development. A new dining facility will increase the seat count for all-you-care-to-eat dining, including a cafe + market, and student center activity-oriented space. The project includes a new regional utility plant, underground utility distribution, and considers rerouting a campus street. Phases anticipated: - Phase 1 - construct approximately 1,500 beds - Phase 2 - demolish one residence hall, West Dunn Building, and construct approximately 750 beds and the dining hall/student center space - Phase 3 - demolish remaining buildings, construct approximately 750 beds
