Student Housing

About This Building

Resident students on the Harrisburg campus were greeted in August 2002 by all new apartment-style housing.

The 92 apartment units to accommodate a minimum of 300 occupants not only provide modern living quarters for students, but also move residents closer to classrooms, the new library, recreation activities, food and support services.

The new housing spelled the end for Meade Heights, the community of three-bedroom duplex homes built by the Air Force before the property was turned over to the University in 1966. Meade Heights is in the extreme northwest area of campus, a long walk from the hub of academic and recreational activity.

Each new apartment unit contains four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen, living area, and washers and dryers. The two- and three-story construction is fully sprinklered and there is a spacious Community Center for student activities.

Funding for the project was provided by University Housing and Food Services at an estimated cost of $14.5 million.
