Benefits of new student housing
1 minute 22 seconds. Out-takes possible.

Growth over the last decade has prompted us to realize that on-campus housing must be constructed. 
We have hundreds of students who would like to live on campus. It’s been proven that on-campus housing and the 
residential life that’s available for students does many things. It bonds the student with university more quickly.
It also contributes to a higher GPA. So, for a variety of reasons, we want to add the additional 525 beds.
The project is the largest the University has ever undertaken at 24 million dollars and it will literally create
a new face on the western edge of our campus. So I think the bonding that it represents, the excitement that it 
represents and the growth that it affords really adds a wonderful dimension to Troy University and positions well 
for the next decade.
