Husky Union Building

The project will add student space and make the building more open and cohesive. New additions will bring the total space up to 300,000 square feet, up from 260,000 square feet.

6. Residence halls, Phase 3

Terry Hall will be renovated and expanded to provide 120 additional beds for a total of 720.

A newer proposal would include the replacement of the 1101 Cafe building with 500 new student apartment units and the renovation of McMahon Hall (1,067 beds). This budget for this alternative would be $237 million.
