The University of Tulsa announced earlier this year of the addition of a new residence hall in the center of campus. The new hall will house around 300 students as well as office space for the Holmes Student Center.

“The addition of the new hall is great for TU, it’s going to bring in a lot more students to the university” says current student Thomas Taggart, “the only inconvenience is the construction through the middle of campus.”

Construction of the new hall. 

Construction has been underway on the 100,000 plus square-foot building and is expected to be completed for students for the fall 2015 semester. The recently renovated buildings throughout campus have added to the attraction of TU.

With the addition of the residence hall, the option to live on campus will be possible for more students. The announcement of the new hall came in early February 2014. The hall is located at the intersection of 5^th Place and Florence Avenue, in the heart of campus.

A fountain plaza will connect the hall with the student union. The student union, known as ACAC, is also getting a renovation with the addition of eight new restaurants. For more information on the renovations, click here TU Renovations.
