This is Phase 1 of a plan to add 10,000 new beds during the next 10 years, a $2 billion-plus initiative approved by the UF Board of Trustees. Balfour Beatty is in a 65:35 joint venture with Stellar Group.
The team includes architecture firms Clark Nexsen and Walker Architects.
Amenities include a café and Amazon Market, a multipurpose event space, study and collaboration spaces, and social gathering areas.
The project is intended to help address a waiting list of more than 1,000 students.
