In the wake of continuous record-breaking enrollment, Duquesne University has begun construction of a 12-story residence hall. Approximately 400 beds will be available for upperclassmen in suite-style configurations.
“A Duquesne education is in demand more than it has ever been and, as a result, we need more on-campus housing options for our students,” said Dr. Charles Dougherty, president. The new building will be located on the former site of Des Places Hall, which housed various academic and non-academic units.
The University will work with the City of Pittsburgh Planning Commission this spring in moving the project forward. In alignment with Duquesne’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the building will be constructed to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification of the U.S. Green Building Council.
