On August 31,\u00a0trustees gave OSU officials the green light to start hiring\u00a0architects, engineers and other consultants. The plan calls for the addition of 3,200 beds in 11 new dormitories\u00a0and would double the number of beds on north campus to 6,359.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Under the plan, four existing dorms on Lane Ave. and North High Street would be torn down to make way for the new facilities. Eight of the new residence halls would rise between 5 and\u00a07 stories, and the other three would be 12 stories tall. Also on the agenda is\u00a0construction of two new dining halls and a 35,000-square-foot fitness center amid three existing 12-story residential towers. <a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2012\/09\/226929_6713158857_8193_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-67179\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2012\/09\/226929_6713158857_8193_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">OSU will finance the project through a combination of bonds and university reserve funds.\u00a0The first phase of construction\u00a0is scheduled to begin by July 2013 and will add 1,600 beds to the north campus upon completion in June 2015. The second phase of construction, which will add another 1,600 beds, will start by July 2014 and\u00a0be completed by June 2016.<\/p>\n<p>OSU officials maintain that the project will increase the number of beds, add new dining, recreation and support facilities, and generally enhance the student experience. It is tied to a new policy that requires students to live on campus through their sophomore years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that students who live in the residence halls for two years have significantly higher second-year retention and graduation rates than those who have never lived on campus,\u201d commented\u00a0Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee. \u201cWe are creating another exceptional living environment, complementing work already underway in the South Residential District, incorporating the elements of student success, programmatic needs, architectural innovation, and student and faculty interaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/osu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.facebook.com\/osu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ohio State University Board of Trustees has approved a $396 million plan to transform the North Residential District into a unique neighborhood where students will live and learn, according to The Columbus Dispatch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1269,"featured_media":1004506861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1585,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004050408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-columbus","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
