Designed by Boston-based Elkus Manfredi Architects, the next phase of the Brandon Avenue project will house approximately 350 beds for senior-year students, an informal gathering space, a dining hall and a parking area with a 100-vehicle capacity.
The estimated $114m project will support the Brandon Avenue district redevelopment in the future.
Currently, a four-storey, 156,000ft² Student Health and Wellness Center is being constructed on the south end of the site. The centre will feature spaces for general medicine, counselling, gynaecology and psychological services. Construction is expected to conclude in 2021.
The project also includes the construction of a 99-seat active-learning classroom. In addition, the attic space has been redesigned for use as office and collaboration space.
