Champaign Neighborhood Redevelopment

new student dining and residential programs building

Replacing the Gregory and Peabody dining halls, this new building will be located at the corner of Gregory Drive and Euclid Street in Champaign. The building will include a marketplace dining concept, a central location for University Housing's student organizations, a learning commons with study space and computer terminals, multipurpose and recreational rooms, and a coffee shop.

Fully Accessible Facilities

Scheduled to open in 2010, the new residence hall wing will house 150 residents, including residents with physical disabilities from Beckwith Hall. The residence hall rooms will be completely accessible. This project has been supported by the College of Applied Health Sciences (formerly the College of Applied Life Studies) and the Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services.

Sustainable Architecture

Our plans call for the new buildings to meet LEED silver certification. Low-VOC materials and energy-efficient systems will contribute to a healthy, sustainable community.

A New Neighborhood

The long-range plan for the Champaign neighborhood calls for the complete replacement of residence halls in the area to better meet University of Illinois students' needs.
