Summary:
- The University of Washington Tacoma received Board of Regents approval for a new housing and dining development set to accommodate about 500 students by late 2029, marking the introduction of its first traditional dining hall.
- This project is a key element of UWT’s strategy to shift from a commuter campus to a residential university, supporting plans to double enrollment from 5,000 to 10,000 and expand the campus footprint in downtown Tacoma.
- Following approval, UWT will begin soliciting developer proposals, with the expanded campus boundaries extending from S. 17th to S. 21st Street and from Pacific Avenue to Tacoma Avenue, complementing its existing 287-bed Court 17 Residence Hall.
