Residence hall to be home to 300 freshmen
As enrollment on the Erie campus has grown so has the need for more plentiful and modern student housing. Currently, the Erie campus is home to approximately 2,000 resident students. The new residence hall will create room for new students, but it will also serve the existing population by reducing density issues.
Construction of the estimated $14 million residence hall at Erie is expected to begin this summer, with the goal of opening in fall 2009. Situated just east of and parallel with Tullio Field, the four-story brick structure will house up to 318 freshmen and encompass approximately 100,000 square feet.
