Appalachian State University
Boone, North Carolina
Summary
A multi-phase undertaking, this West Campus Housing is the largest capital project in Appalachian State history. To create an interconnected, on-campus community, NBA replaced five residence halls with four efficient, contemporary buildings and a new parking deck that can support the needs of faculty, staff and students for years to come. Now complete, the $169 million-project—made possible through a public-private partnership known as a P3—adds 850+ more beds to the university’s campus housing. The P3 agreement saves Appalachian State approximately $73 million over developing the property on its own. Phase one includes the parking deck, Raven Rocks and Thunder Hill Halls on what was previously a stadium parking lot, totaling 912 beds. Phase two includes Laurel Creek Hall with 640 beds and finally, phase three, New River Hall, added an additional 747 beds.
