The Main on University
Fairfax, Virginia
Summary
More students can live close to campus and enjoy all the entertainment, educational, and sporting events that happen outside regular class hours with this new housing, part of the redevelopment of a 10.8-acre property adjacent to George Mason University. Accents of brick and stone tie the seven-story building to the surrounding architecture and material changes and undulations along the long exterior façade visually reduce the scale. Large windows and tall storefronts ensure a light-filled environment. The 317-unit student apartments provide 793 beds in a mix of one-, two-, and four-bedroom floorplans with amenities to support a vibrant student residential community, including a leasing center, lobby, lounges, fitness area, gaming and virtual reality room and numerous study spaces. For students with four-legged friends, The Main on University also features a dog spa and outdoor dog park.
