UW housing project reaches milestone

The University of Wyoming is reporting the biggest construction project in UW’s history has reached another milestone this week, setting the stage for UW students to begin living and dining in a modern, state-of-the-art residence hall complex beginning in the fall 2025 semester.

According to UW, the University and JE Dunn Construction celebrated the official “topping out” of the new student housing project with the placement of the final structural beam. 

The $285.5 million project includes two new five-story residence halls that will house a two-story dining hall and more than 920 student beds at the center of campus next to the Wyoming Union and Half Acre Recreation and Wellness Center.

This is the first residence hall project for the university in nearly 60 years, according to UW.

The first part of the project – the North Hall and the connected two-level dining facility – are on schedule to open for the fall 2025 semester. The second phase – the South Hall – is on track to allow occupancy in the spring 2026 semester.
