$50 million residence hall will be built at University of Houston

Feb. 24, 2009
School also will renovate existing dining hall

The University of Houston is moving forward with plans for a new undergraduate residence hall and a major renovation to Moody Towers’ dining hall. Both projects will break ground soon. The 284,964-square-foot co-ed residence hall will house 1,085 students and contain tutoring rooms, classrooms, social spaces and a small grocery store. It is budgeted at $50 million and will be paid for through student rental fees. In the $10 million dining hall overhaul, food stations will be revamped, allowing students to view their meals as they are prepared. Proposed stations will include a pizza oven, Mongolian grill, bakery, sandwich shop and home-style grill. The dining hall also will offer additional vegetarian and vegan options.
