UNIVERSITY PLACE:

In 2017, Ұ������ held a groundbreaking ceremony for the second of five mixed-used buildings at University Place, a $400 million redevelopment project that aims to create a unique sense of place between Ұ������’s main campus and the adjacent neighborhood. The two new buildings will together have more than 300 market-rate apartments, more than 11,000 square-feet of transformative commercial space on West Side Avenue, and parking for 303 vehicles. In 2016, Ұ������ celebrated the ribbon-cutting of its West Campus Village Residence Hall. The new facility doubled the University’s capacity to accommodate residential students. Future construction will bring additional shops, a supermarket, and other retail amenities, along with ample on-street parking and garages. Also planned are academic and non- academic facilities, including a center for the performing arts.

The newly renovated and expanded Science Building is now open to students at Ұ������ and houses the Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Sciences, and Physics departments. The building is equipped with 45 ultramodern teaching and research laboratories, a greenhouse, observatory, imaging center, cell culture lab, bio-informatics lab, and Geographic Information Science lab. The Science Building expansion project included a 40,000-square-foot, five-story addition and a 70,000-square-foot renovation of the existing Science Building in the center of the Main Campus.
