hindesky Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The University of Texas System Board of Regents has approved the construction of a new residence hall and dining facility on the UT Rio Grande Valley, Edinburg campus. The $135.5-million project will be located at the intersection of North Sugar Road and West Van Week Street. Construction is slated to start in July and be completed in early 2027. The complex will include a five-story residence hall with 550 beds, and a dining hall capable of seating 500. The new dining hall will also feature a retail shop. The new residence hall, the first on the Edinburg campus in 20 years, will offer double-, single-, and premium single-bed units configured in community pods around shared collaboration spaces. Currently, the residence halls in Edinburg are at 100 percent capacity, and the Brownsville campus is at 84 percent capacity. Funded through the UT System’s Capital Investment Program, the new complex’s construction costs will be repaid by UTRGV via auxiliary services revenues.
