TROY – Troy University officials have broken ground on a new student housing complex that will add 524 beds to the Troy Campus.

In partnership between the University and the Troy University Foundation, the complex will be located adjacent to Clements Hall on nearly six acres of land and will consist of four four-story residence halls.

“This construction reflects the continued growth Troy University has seen in recent years,” said Chancellor Jack Hawkins Jr. “For the past several years, we have reached or exceeded our capacity to provide on-campus student housing. This new facility will provide not only top-quality residences but also enhances our ability to better serve our students.”

Our on-campus housing needs have far exceeded our capacity and we’re glad to join with the Foundation in offering state-of-the-art living facilities to our students.”

The residence halls form a student housing village designed to be an integrated living and learning community to promote academics and student social interaction. A multi-purpose room with an attached kitchen, a convenience store, laundry facilities, a game room and a fitness center are among the items included in the complex. Music rooms and a computer lab are also incorporated into the design.

“At TROY, we want our students to have the very best college experience,” said Dr. John Schmidt, senior vice chancellor for student affairs. “Certainly top-quality living facilities combined with strong academics and quality student life activities complete that experience.”

The complex is expected to take a year to complete. Ambling University Development Group, a national developer, builder and manager of university communities, is responsible for the design and construction of the complex, and Whaley Construction of Troy is the general contractor.
