Summary:
- The University’s Ivy Corridor project, spanning 14.5 acres at Emmet Street and Ivy Road, includes two six-story upperclassmen housing buildings with 750-800 beds, approved in February 2025 with a $160 million budget to address an 81% rise in upperclassmen housing demand since 2021; completion is targeted for the 2027-2028 academic year.
- The housing development, part of the 2030 “Great and Good Plan” to house all second-year students on Grounds, will increase upperclassmen housing capacity to 3,577 beds, integrating dining and retail spaces, while maintaining stable pricing compared to off-Grounds options.
- Ivy Corridor will also host academic and cultural facilities including the School of Data Science, Virginia Guesthouse hotel and conference center, and future buildings for the Karsh Institute of Democracy and Center for the Performing Arts, supported by experienced development partners with university project backgrounds.
