Interior work on the student residence is well underway with significant progress in the areas of plumbing, electrical and drywall. Specifically all plumbing has been roughed-in with the exception of the ninth floor, the main electrical pad providing service to the residence is installed, and dry wall work has begun with each floor taking approximately six days to complete.

Construction of the elevator cars is on schedule and should be completed by the end of December. At least one car will be available to the construction tradespeople working on the project. This means that the exterior lift, which has been in place since early fall will be removed.

Other exterior progress includes metal and glass work on the façade on the south east elevation and the south west curtain wall system.

The nine-story, $40 million structure is designed by Beacon Architectural Associates with a brick and precast façade. Its 104 two-bedroom suites that include bath, kitchenette and living spaces will accommodate 208 students, each with individual bedrooms, the standard for graduate student housing. Walsh Brothers is the contractor for the building, which is expected to be complete June 2012.
