Residential Complex

Xavier's rising national profile is bringing increased interest from students across the country. The University is meeting the academic side of this opportunity by creating new educational facilities second to none in the nation. But another challenge exists: student housing.

Currently, the University’s residence halls house about 52 percent of full-time undergraduate students and are inadequate in meeting Xavier’s goal that all freshman and sophomore students live on campus. .

Limited student housing is considered a constraint to enrollment, including recruiting and retention. The proposed residence hall project is a key component of Xavier’s long-term vision and strategy.

The project:

  • Will be completed by August 2011.
  • Features four residence halls and a dining center.
  • Is located in the core of campus, providing easy access to all classroom facilities as well as the Gallagher Student Center and Bellarmine Chapel.
  • Features 535 beds to help meet student demand.
  • Is designed around comfortably sized multi-bedroom suites.
  • Uses existing campus property at the corner of Herald and Ledgewood avenues.
  • Alleviates expanded occupancy—the current practice of housing additional students in rooms intended for less.
  • Includes roof-top recreation space above the dining hall
