It Takes a Village McCallister Academic Village Teaches 24/7

摘要

The first section of a new academic village that's part of Arizona State University's plan to construct a learning and creative district at the Tempe campus should be ready for next fall's freshman class. Crews from CORE Construction started work on the 90 million dollars project in February, with plans calling for the construction of seven new buildings to house 1,928 beds. The first phase of four buildings will open in Fall 2006. The project is divided into two phases, with masonry crews from Sun Valley Masonry placing a combination of regular CMU and burnished block to create four, four-story buildings. Sitework is under way on phase two of the project, which consists of a seven-story building. Plans call for a July 2007 completion on the second phase. The Village, at ASU's Tempe Campus will provide approximately 585,600 sq. ft. in three distinct components: residential space of approximately 508,800 sq. ft.; academic space of approximately 57,400 sq. ft.; and service/retail space of approximately 19,400 sq. ft. when fully completed.
