Fordham University is undergoing renovations at its Rose Hill campus to the tune of $100 million. With HLW International LLP leading the design, components include sustainability upgrades and new student amenities.
Construction is being completed in two phases. The first phase consists of a new 71,000-square-foot four-story building housing the student center, situated in front of the existing McGinley Center. The second phase will include an arcade that connects the two structures, as well as renovations to the McGinley Center and a new dining facility to be completed by 2025.
When the student center opens for the fall 2021 semester, it will meet Passive House standards as well as feature a 9,500-square-foot lounge designed to encourage commuter and resident student interactions, and a 20,000-square-foot fitness center. Student lounges will feature custom-built furniture with various kinds of spaces to cater toward different kinds of clubs and students’ studying habits, including high-top tables, living room lounge areas, and conference tables for larger meetings.
