Marquette University to expand residence hall project adding 140 beds
MILWAUKEE -- Marquette University announced Thursday, February 23rd, their new residence hall project is expanding to accommodate 140 additional beds.The two-story addition to the facility's west tower, which was approved by the Board of Trustees in February, will bring the total number of beds to 890 and the overall cost to $108 million.According to a news release, the expansion will give the university the flexibility to close the outdated O'Donnell Hall, a first-year residence hall that opened in 1950.“We examined the occupancy rates of our existing housing stock and our enrollment projections over the next few years, and we determined that the most cost-effective and timely way for us to add needed beds, as identified in our master plan, was to add two floors to this project,” said Lora Strigens, vice president for planning and strategy. “We have no immediate plans to raze O’Donnell, so we still have the flexibility to reopen it should enrollment exceed capacity.”Strigens added that the university’s master plan effort looked carefully at the condition of campus buildings and the cost of operating and maintaining each.“As buildings like McCormick and O’Donnell continue to age, they require significant ongoing investment to maintain and bring up to current codes,” she said. “At some point the cost of that maintenance no longer makes sense when compared to replacement.”Marquette last month announced that alumni Ray and Kay Eckstein issued a $10 million challenge toward the construction of the facility, which will be named for longtime Marquette President Rev.
