The campus will be building its first residence hall. |
USF St. Petersburg chancellor Karen White said this step makes campus life more like a university.
"This is a great opportunity for us to add an element of student life that has never existed," White said.
This will be the school's first residence hall.
"With this, you'll see a lot more energy coming from this building," student body president Tom Piccolo said.
The seven-story building will house 354 students.
School officials said it's a project that's keeping the school's development as a strong four-year institution on the right track.
"We're moving from a different type of institution where students come and go throughout the day to a 24-7 experience," White said.
The project will cost more than $18 million. It is expected to be completed by fall 2006.
