Construction will start this month on a new residential center that will 
enable Southwestern to move toward its strategic goal of having 95 
percent of its students live on campus.

The complex will be built adjacent to the existing Grogan and Betty Lord 
Residential Center between 8th Street and Southwestern Boulevard on the 
north side of campus. University officials hope to have the new units 
available for students in fall 2007.

The new residential center will consist of three buildings with 
two-bedroom apartments. Each student will have a private bedroom and 
bath, and each apartment will have its own kitchen. All the units will 
be fully furnished.

The project also will include a common area designed to support 
Residence and Student Life programs.
