The new building proposed as part of the university's master plan aims to minimize conflict between students and residents in nearby neighborhoods.
A new St. Joseph’s University dormitory for first-year students is being proposed as part of a plan to shift undergraduate housing away from West Philadelphia’s residential neighborhoods, minimizing conflict between students and area residents.
The building is aiming to achieve a LEED silver certification, which is awarded to buildings meeting high environmental standards. According to the materials presented to the Planning Commission, these features include a “geothermal well field” that will be dug this fall. This sustainable energy source will be used to power mechanical systems and sustainable lighting.
The cost of construction is still being determined, said McGuriman, and it is anticipated to break ground this fall and to open in the autumn 2025.residents were broadly supportive of the proposal. There were some skeptics after university representatives asked for future support before the zoning board by noting that the project would have minimal impact upon the neighborhood.
