Eastern Washington University has announced plans to build a residence hall to replace the dormant Dryden Hall.
The Columbian reports that the $50.2 million project would provide 350 to 400 new beds on the Cheney campus. Officials hope to begin construction in early 2027 and for students to move into the facility for the 2028-29 school year.
The building would replace Dryden Hall, which was built 61 years ago. The new hall would be added to the university's six university-owned residential properties, four traditional residence halls and two apartment complexes.
The architect is NAC Architecture.
