The University of Louisville breaks ground at the construction site of U of L’s new residence hall. The new dorm will be built where Threlkeld Hall once stood and is scheduled for completion by Fall 2021.
The new dorm is being built in tandem with the other residence hall, both will be located in front of the SAC in the center of campus.
The new hall features LEED silver certification, 452 rooms and a focus on accessibility with the inclusion of multiple elevators and wheelchair access.
Student input was important to the new dorm project; students had direct input on design, furniture, features and amenities, with the cooperation of both SGA and the RHA.
