University of Michigan Taps Developer to Build Student Housing Community
The University of Michigan has engaged American Campus Communities (ACC) to lead the development of a new residential community. Together with RAMSA as the design architect and architect of record and Elkus Manfredi Architects, the team will build a new residential property community with five residence halls totaling 2,300 student beds and a 900-seat dining facility.
The University’s Board of Regents approved the $631 million project in 2023, and the new environmentally sustainable living-learning student community is anticipated to be completed in 2026.
“The Central Campus residence hall represents our continued investment in strengthening our students’ experience on campus,” said Martino Harmon, vice president for student life.
“Developing this first-of-its-kind project in collaboration with RAMSA and Elkus Manfredi Architects allows us to tap into the broad experience of combining modern amenities conducive to student residents’ academic and personal success with the highest green building standards,” said said James Wilhelm, Executive Vice President, P3 Partnership at American Campus Communities.
