Residence Hall and Dining Facility

A new three-story, 84,000 square-foot freshman residence hall will open in fall 2012 on the Polytechnic campus. The building will be arranged with two 150-bed, three-story residence wings and a landscaped central courtyard.

The two buildings will be linked together by a one-story common area that contains a lobby, information desk, administration offices, resident community kitchen, two multipurpose rooms, group study room and a "tinker" room, which will function as a small engineering studio. Each resident wing will have three student activity lounges – one on each floor for pool, gaming and table tennis. In addition, each floor of each wing will have a laundry area and two quiet study rooms.

The ASU Polytechnic dining facility will be located on the north side of newly extended Texas Mall, immediately north of the Student Union, and will be a single-story facility designed to serve up to 1,200 students. The dining facility will consist of a student dining room, a private dining area, market and exterior seating on three sides that will offer connections to the existing campus. In addition, the facility will have a small grocery store and café. The dining facility will be a LEED-certified silver building and will be a critical social linkage between the freshman housing and the student recreation center.
