Ga Tech's Plans For Roosevelt House
Breaking news from the student housing front. The former Roosevelt House site on Tech's campus will become a mixed-use student housing complex. Tech's Michael Black was one of our panelists at this morning's Bisnow Atlanta Construction & Development Summit at the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead, where he let slip the school's plans for the 11-story complex. (Loose lips may sink ships, but if they also build 11-story student housing complexes, we'll take the trade.) Michael tells us the development--which will include street-level retail--is still in design. With up to 500 beds, the project will help Tech top 9,000 on-campus beds. Ahousing crunch on campus could force the university to hold a lottery for freshman housing next year, he says.
