SLU Launches Student Housing Plan

ST. LOUIS—Saint Louis University has decided to move forward with a campus housing master plan that will result in new residence halls and extensive renovations to existing facilities. School officials recently completed a detailed study that they say included considerable student input and concluded that new and improved student housing is needed.

“It’s important that the residential experience on our campus reflects the expectations of a highly ranked national university,” says SLU’s vice president for student development Kent Porterfield. “The demand for on-campus housing is increasing, and we know that having our students living on campus contributes to success in and out of the classroom.”
