Phase III of Southern Polytechnic State University’s housing program continues the transformation of SPSU by bringing full-time campus student life to the west side of SPSU’s
campus. The program consists of residence halls in two buildings totaling 600 new beds, a new 300 seat, 15,000 sf dining facility, and a new special interest housing cluster including
52,000 sf of housing space in 10 buildings, a community center, and 4 acres of hardscaped common area. Additionally, these facilities include study lounges, laundry facilities,
tutoring centers and meeting spaces for the residents.
Special Interest Housing (LEED Certified): The special interest housing buildings are all wood framed with wood floor/roof trusses and slab-on-grade foundations. The porches
feature two story GFRC columns and the exterior façade is composed of brick and cast stone accents. The buildings all utilize split system heat pumps and individual electric water
heaters.
Residence Halls (LEED Silver): The new residence halls are each 4-story wood and metal stud hybrid structures with wood floor/roof trusses. The lobby areas of both residence
halls feature upscale tile flooring, decorative pendant lighting, and architectural millwork features.
Dining Hall (LEED Silver): The upper dining area features a commercial kitchen capable of serving hundreds of students at each meal. The lower dining area was designed
to host special events for the college and its administration.
