UVa-Wise residence halls have had greater than 100 percent occupancy for the past eight years. To serve our growing enrollment and to continue to welcome new students into our close-knit residential community, the College needs a new residence hall.
Therefore, coming on the heels of the recent completion of Culbertson Hall, the College's newest residence hall will feature 120 beds, study areas, a residence life director's apartment, recreational space and a classroom. The project will be located near the Lake, facing the future center for the arts.
