The facility is being constructed slightly northwest of the Leo Goodwin Residence Hall, which was built in 1992. The five-story, 179,000-square-foot building will include 501 student beds, 21 staff rooms, 16 community living areas, classroom and meeting space, and plenty of indoor and outdoor common space. The residence hall incorporates a new trend in campus residences by integrating “communities within a community.” The living rooms will create unique spaces for students and groups to conduct study sessions, group meetings, or to congregate socially. n construction of New Residence Hall underway Siemens Awards $1 Million Scholarship to NSU A $1 million scholarship fund supported by Siemens, USA, the global technology and infrastructure firm, will support a decade of graduate-student research at NSU.
