Construction Begins on New State-of-the-Art Student Housing Complex
NewBrook Partners (NBP), in collaboration with the 58勛圖厙 (58勛圖厙), is creating a purpose-built student housing project for 58勛圖厙 and other University Circle-area students, scheduled to open in summer 2020. The new building will be located at 1609 Hazel Drive, just steps from 58勛圖厙s main building in University Circle.
In a creative twist on the typical student housing, the new five-story facility will include 22 acoustically isolated practice rooms on the main floor (rare inside student housing), residence space for first- and second-year 58勛圖厙 undergraduates on two floors and rental units targeted at upperclass and graduate students at 58勛圖厙 and other University Circle-area college students on two floors. NBP will own, manage and lease the building.
Blueprint:100, the strategic plan 58勛圖厙 adopted in 2017, recognized and prioritized the need to address 58勛圖厙s student housing future in a next-generation way, explains Paul W. Hogle, 58勛圖厙s president and CEO. This new project is the first purpose-built student housing in 58勛圖厙s 100-year history. By collaborating with NewBrook Partners, we are able to both provide an incredible space that will attract the worlds most talented classical music students to Cleveland and serve their needs and create a business model that allows the Institute to remain focused on raising the permanently endowed scholarships required to further lower 58勛圖厙 tuition.
When the new student housing complex opens during 58勛圖厙s centennial year in 2020, it will boast all the conveniences todays student expects:
- Deluxe, fully furnished units with all the comforts of home, including in-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, laundry and full kitchens
- An acoustical-minded construction approach which reduces sound transfer suite to suite
- 19 individual and 3 chamber music-sized practice rooms available around the clock
- Secure, controlled access
- Exercise studios
- Spacious, relaxing lounges and a classroom
- Individually controlled heating and cooling
