Morehouse College in Atlanta has broken ground on two buildings that are part of its “Campus of the Future” construction initiative.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a 58,000-square-foot campus center and a 88,000-square-foot residence hall are part of a broader effort to modernize the main campus.
The residence hall will have more than 300 beds.
The projects are the first new construction on the Morehouse campus since 2010.
Morehouse is in the midst of a $500 million fundraising campaign. Launched in 2022, the “Making Men of Consequence” campaign was designed to drive investment in scholarships, academic program, athletics, faculty research and campus improvements. So far the campaign has raised $320 million.
Since the campaign began, Morehouse has renovated its Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel as well as the B.T. Harvey Stadium and Edwin C. Moses Track and Field.
