About the Project
In her inaugural address, President Sian Beilock pledged to add a total of 1,000 new beds for students, faculty, and staff over the next decade. The first project in this vision is underway at 25 West Wheelock St., an approximately one-acre parcel on the north side of the street. Once complete, this five-story structure—to be called Russo Hall—will house apartment-style units for juniors and seniors on the West End of campus. The units will add 285 beds and include a mix of two-, three-, and four-bed apartments, each with a full kitchen, living room, and storage space.
