Summary:
- Emory University has launched Phase II of “The Ridge,” its on-campus graduate student housing project, adding 383 beds to the existing 535, with completion expected in summer 2027 to address the shortage of graduate housing near campus.
- The new L-shaped building will enhance community space and maintain convenient access to all graduate programs, labs, and libraries within a 15-minute walk, supported by Emory shuttle and MARTA bus services.
- Phase I of The Ridge achieved LEED Gold certification in 2025, aligning with Emory’s sustainability goals, while Phase II incorporates tenant feedback to increase two-bedroom units and aims to sustain high occupancy and interdisciplinary student integration.
