In
February, Schreiner University broke
ground on a new $4.8 million
apartment-style residential complex that
will provide for continued enrollment
growth.
Last fall,
Schreiner experienced record growth with
a 13 percent increase in overall
enrollment and a 51 percent increase in
freshman enrollment. That growth
triggered the launch of a planned
additional student housing complex that
will serve as a transition from freshman
residence living to apartment-style
living. The building’s design features
metal roofs and bricks that will
architecturally blend with the existing
structures on campus. |

Configured
in a diamond shape with three furnished
apartment buildings and a community
center, the complex will be built on the
northwest side of campus, near Hanszen
Fine Arts building. Each of the
1,200-square-foot apartment units will
include four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a
living room and kitchen.
The residence hall will feature a gazebo
and barbecue area along with a community
center that will include several storage
areas, meeting and social rooms and a
covered patio.
The entire campus community will use the
community center.
Collegiate Development Services in
Irving will build the complex, designed
by Dallas-based WSI Architects Inc. The
building will add an additional 108
student beds to our capacity and will be
ready for use this fall. |
