Construction on the 72,000-square-foot project is underway and completion is scheduled for August of 2012.

 

The project will bring much-needed additional housing to the university, according to Moss officials.

 

The three-story, suite-style student housing complex will be built on 5.7 acres of land, with the housing units designed around a central courtyard.

 

The hall will offer single and double rooms, five resident assistant rooms and one resident staff apartment.

 

Additionally, the complex will feature a café and convenience store and a multi-purpose meeting and multimedia room.

The construction firm will work with Cannon Design as a partner for the marquee project.

 

“Cannon Design’s sense of architecture and expertise in student housing is sure to integrate today’s relevance of student living with the architectural style inspired by the original campus buildings built in the 1940s," said Moss Vice President Brett Atkinson.
