The new Residential Hall will be sited on the Northeast side of the campus along Clinch Valley Drive in accordance with the campus master plan. Two existing faculty row houses will be removed for the construction of the Residential Hall. The building will be sited to create an inviting plaza on the South side adjacent to the main entry area and a private garden terrace on the North side.

The new three story Residence Hall will be comprised of two wings encompassing a total of approximately 31,000 GSF, providing on-campus housing for 120 students in two person rooms with hall bathrooms. Additionally, the first floor of the facility will provide community meeting space, laundry facilities, an apartment for residential staff and classroom space for academic scheduling. The building will incorporate sustainable best practices wherever possible and will pursue LEED certification. The exterior materials will be compatible with the adjacent buildings and comply with the recommendations of the Campus Architectural Guidelines. The primary exterior materials will be brick, with metal panels, architectural precast concrete accents and the sloped roof will be standing seal metal.
