Napa Valley College, a community college based in Napa, Calif., is constructing an $83 student housing project.
River Trail Village will consist of three four-story buildings with a choice of dormitory-style rooms or apartments, reports The Napa Valley Register.
The residence hall will have 212 beds in single or double rooms with communal bathrooms and kitchens. Furnished apartments will accommodate 200 more residents. Students with children are a key target of the college's housing plan
Napa Valley would join a small but growing number of community colleges in California to offer housing on their campuses. Advocates have said campus housing can boost the chances of academic success for low-income students in communities with historically scarce and costly housing.
Construction is slated to be finished in fall 2024.
HPI Architecture is the architect.
