Torcon provided construction management services for this transformative project along Lancaster Avenue. The development revitalized an expansive parking lot into a vibrant campus hub featuring student housing, University-operated student-centric retail, a parking garage and pedestrian bridge.

The project included the construction of new apartment-style and single room student housing; a 400,000 sq. ft. complex for 1,160 undergraduate students. The gothic-style housing is complemented by new retail facilities, including a new university bookstore, convenience store and a 200-seat restaurant and bar. The project also included a new parking structure for 1,230 vehicles.

The commons received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification by the US Green Building Council.
