Abstract | Residence hall construction continues to be a priority for colleges and universities. With enrollments on the upswing, higher-education institutions are spending more and building larger facilities to entice students to live on campus. This article presents the findings of "American School & University's" 17th annual Residence Hall Construction Report. According to the report, the median new housing facility completed in 2005 was 136,886 square feet (more than twice the 60,000 square feet posted in 2004) and accommodated 382 residents at a total cost of $20.4 million (compared with 210 residents and $10 million the year before). One notable finding is that new residence halls are providing fewer square feet per student, reversing five consecutive years of new facilities offering more space per student. The type and quality of amenities included in new residence halls remain important. Among the more common amenities among projects completed in 2005 are Internet access, kitchens and laundry facilities, air conditioning, electronic security systems, and television rooms/lounges.
