Housing planned for Southern University at New Orleans
June 24, 2008
Complex will be first housing offered by school, which was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina
A 19-building, $44 million residential complex will rise next to the Lake Pontchartrain levee in what will be the biggest construction project in Southern University at New Orleans' 49-year history. The structures, providing a total of 227,000 square feet of housing for students and faculty, will be directly behind the tract where SUNO has operated in trailers since Hurricane Katrina and ensuing floodwaters savaged its campus in August 2005. It will be the first housing SUNO has ever offered.
