Construction on FAMU’s new 700 bed student residence hall is nearing completion. The $59.5 million, 182,000 square feet project is 90% complete and with an expected occupancy date of August 11, 2020.
The project includes two four-story H-shaped buildings, each with an east and west wing, featuring 350 double-occupancy bedrooms and shared bathrooms. The new residence halls will include laundry facilities, vending area, common student lounges, study rooms, recreation/TV/computer rooms and administrative offices.
Once the new residence halls open, Paddyfote and Palmetto North will be demolished at a yet to be determined date.
