The development will expand the university’s on-campus living options for upperclassmen as part of a public-private partnership.
Located on more than 10 acres in the southern part of OU’s campus, the project will include four mid-rise buildings with 1,231 beds. Plans also call for 40,000 square feet of retail and academic space, as well as a 1,000-car parking garage.
Construction of the project is slated for completion in August 2018 in preparation for the 2018-2019 academic year. OU and Balfour Beatty Communities will jointly operate and mange the housing component of the development.
JE Dunn Construction is leading the project’s design/build team, in collaboration with Clark Nexsen and Oklahoma City-based Studio Architecture. RBC Capital Markets is the financial underwriter for the project.
Balfour Beatty Campus Solutions provides development, asset/property management and other real estate services to higher education with a focus on public-private partnerships.
