On Friday, June 28, 2024, Lynn University broke ground on a new residence hall project slated to open in Fall 2025. The newly constructed 101,412-square-foot residence hall will add 287 beds and will meet an immediate need to provide convenient on-campus living options for Lynn’s rapidly expanding student population.
Student housing expansion is a priority of the Lynn 2025 strategic plan. With the construction of the new residence hall, second-year students will benefit from two- and four-bedroom suite-style dorms with kitchenettes. In addition, the building will have an interior courtyard, grilling areas, fire pits, study halls and a classroom. The new project is being developed by The Michaels Organization, with Ayers Saint Gross as the architect and Kaufman Lynn as the general contractor.
"We are proud to partner with The Michaels Organization to bring to life our vision for a close-knit neighborhood on the south side of campus," said President Kevin M. Ross. "We've listened to our students, and we’re designing the new residence halls with their needs in mind."
Collaboration is the key to integration
"We are excited to be a partner with Lynn University as they transform their on-campus student housing experience in a Southern Residential District that will create a synergistic housing core," said Ned Williams, executive vice president of development for The Michaels Organization. "Together we will build innovative, safe and affordable housing for Lynn's growing student community."
