É«½äÖ±²¥ will welcome a new 740-bed residential facility constructed by a team which includes S.B. Ballard Construction Company, Commonwealth Architects, and Niles Bolton Associates. Ballard Construction will be the design-build contractor.
The four-story residential facility will feature a North and South Hall with a central two-story amenity space, and will include 193,424 square feet and 740 beds for first-year students. The amenity space, which connects the two residential wings, will house offices, conference room, resource production space, fitness room, movement/yoga studio, multipurpose room, group study space, community kitchen, theater, and an open gaming space. The residence hall has been designed to complement É«½äÖ±²¥ State’s campus and architectural aesthetic.
“We really wanted to create a facility that promotes community for NSU’s students. While maintaining the campus masterplan, we envisioned a residence hall fit for nurturing educational goals while providing space for establishing relationships that will last a lifetime,” said Anton V. Kashiri, NSU associate vice president for Facilities Management.
Construction is expected to be complete by December 2019.
