Rendering of the new residence hall on the Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s University campus.<\/p><\/div>\n

Jersey City, N.J. \u2013 \u00a0July 9, 2020 \u2013<\/strong> Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University today announced that construction will soon begin on a new six-story residence hall, which will be located at 762 Montgomery Street near the University\u2019s Mac Mahon Student Center. The building will feature comfortable suite-style rooms with 288 beds and a variety of amenities for students including kitchenettes, spacious study lounges, game rooms, modern laundry facilities and a fantastic backdrop of the skyline. The University anticipates completion of the residence hall by fall 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile higher education currently faces incredibly unique circumstances due to coronavirus, COVID-19, Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s is thinking towards the future and committed to re-emerging from this challenging time even stronger and more resilient than before,\u201d said Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., president of Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University. \u201cThe construction of this residence hall will be a critical addition to our campus to position the University for future success. We actively encourage our students to live on campus as it can significantly enhance their experience through increased opportunities for participation, personal growth and independence. We are incredibly excited to develop a new space that we believe will improve the quality of the residential experience for our current students, persuade more students to join the Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s residential community and will ultimately have a positive impact on the McGinley Square area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The residence hall project is the latest in a series of initiatives designed to enhance the Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s Jersey City campus. Additional efforts include plans for capital improvements to the West Campus and the recently-established Frank J. Guarini School of Business including the construction of a state-of-the-art lab, innovation hubs, collaborative workspaces and a new entrance.<\/p>\n
