Construction on FAMU’s new 700-bed on campus residence complex is progressing nicely. The new dorms will be comprised of two-four story H-shaped residence halls, each with an east and west wing, featuring 350 double-occupancy bedrooms and shared bathrooms. The buildings will include laundry facilities, vending areas, common student lounges, study rooms, recreation/TV/computer rooms and administrative offices.
The $50 million project under construction near the corner of Osceola Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd was financed with a loan from the U.S. Department of Education. The new dorms will help to modernize FAMU’s student housing stock.
