LEXINGTON, KY—The University of Kentucky‘s master plan to replace outdated residence halls with modern living and learning facilities took one more step ahead recently, after state officials green-lighted the next phase of the project. The Capital Projects and Bond Oversight Committee of the Kentucky Legislature gave final approval to Phase II-B of the program, which UofK is implementing with Memphis-based EdR.

This $101.2-million phase will deliver three five- to seven-story buildings—Woodland Glen III, IV and V —with 1,610 beds within two-bedroom units in summer 2015. It will also include classrooms, active learning spaces, study lounges and other amenities to “promote a community atmosphere for the students who will live there.” EdR will manage and operate the residence halls when they are completed.
