Under construction next to Mitchell Hall, this new housing complex is expected to open in fall 2027.

The new freshman residence hall will not only increase the university’s housing capacity but also provide students with a more modern living and learning environment.

Funded via a bond initiative, the $50 million new residence hall will sit adjacent to SC State's Mitchell Hall and Oliver C. Dawson Stadium. Charleston, South Carolina–based Little Architects and Greenville, South Carolina–based AJAX Construction are working with the university on the new residence hall.

Amenities will include:

  • Three study areas per floor.
  • A lobby with a common kitchen and gathering space.
  • A laundry room on each floor.
  • Amazon mailboxes on the first floor.
  • Electronic access control for the building and every room.
