Summary:
- The University of Miami will replace Mahoney-Pearson Residential College with Gables Village, a new 573,804-square-foot complex featuring 1,458 beds—mostly single rooms—along with study lounges, classrooms, recreational spaces, and a 700-seat dining hall, scheduled to open in Fall 2028.
- Gables Village, designed by Arquitectonica, will consist of two multistory towers connected by landscaped walkways, targeting upper-class students and forming the third phase of the University’s long-term Housing Facilities Strategic Plan to modernize on-campus housing.
- Construction is contingent on City of Coral Gables approval expected in November 2024, with demolition of Mahoney-Pearson planned for summer 2026; an 8,500-square-foot central energy plant will also be built to enhance campus infrastructure and sustainability.
