Project Spotlight | Central Neighborhood Residential Colleges

Details

Plans for the reimagined Central Neighborhood include the demolition of its existing residence halls—Branscomb Quadrangle and McTyeire Hall—as well as the University Club to make way for the new residential colleges. Construction could begin as early as summer 2025, with the new residential colleges expected to welcome more than 1,300 students for the 2028–29 Academic Year. 

The four new residential colleges would be designed to support the goals of the university’s residential colleges program by creating spaces for academic experiences beyond the classroom, featuring mixed-use spaces for collaboration, green spaces to promote sustainable living, and a variety of single and suite living options. 

Timeline

  • Start: June 2025
  • Completion: August 2028 (two buildings); August 2029 (last building)
  • Full Occupancy: Fall 2029
