The Quad

Category: Education

This is the site of The Quad, a $20 million, 458-bed residence hall. The Quad – Phase I is the first of two projects consisting of four, L-shaped residence halls that will eventually cover the area now occupied by Howard Hall.

Phase I of the project entails construction of two, three story buildings. These will be connected by a main single lobby, with a triangular shaped skylight that empties onto an internal facing courtyard. Phase II will require the demolition of Howard Hall and complete the quad concept with the final two L-shaped structures in its place.

The Quad Phase I is planned to open Fall Semester 2010.

The new building will include one- and two-bedroom units with both handicap and hearing impaired units available in each type. Amenities will include study lounges on each floor, computer laboratories, laundry facilities, smart classrooms, multipurpose rooms and a kitchen in each building. Shared spaces between the two buildings will include a central main entrance and lobby, a main commons area, a wellness center, a game room and a beauty/barber salon.

The architect for the project is Clark Nexsen Architects and the construction manager is W.M. Jordan Company
