Specifications include, but are not limited to: demolition of an existing Universityowned six-level, approximately 57,075 gross square foot (GSF) apartment building on the approximately 20,831 square foot (sf) (0.48 gross acre) project site, and the construction of an eight-story, approximately 112,000- gsf co-living style of housing with communal living and study spaces on each floor. Co-living housing is a hybrid of dorm-style housing with community bathrooms and shared spaces for students to cook, eat, study, and socialize. The proposed Project would provide 187 bedrooms and up to 545 beds in triple-occupancy rooms, of which at least 65 percent (358 beds) would be offered as affordable beds. When compared to the existing building, the proposed Project would result in a net increase of 445 beds (residents), and a net increase of approximately 54,925 GSF of development.
