The North Campus Residential Expansion project is proceeding on schedule despite delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the first phase of the project – including two residential buildings providing beds for 800 students – will be ready for move-in by fall 2021.
On Dec. 18, workers moved the final beam into place – marking an important milestone in the ambitious project, which aims to provide a better residential experience for undergraduates, accommodate planned growth in student enrollment and ease the real estate strain on surrounding neighborhoods.
