Stephenville: Tarleton State housing $38M in phase two

STEPHENVILLE, ERATH COUNTY – Tarleton State University will soon break ground on a $38 million second phase of student housing development. The project includes the construction of a new 502-bed facility and the renovation of an existing 80-bed facility.

The new dorm will consist of a four-story structure with four- and two-bedroom units that will include private bedroom accommodations, semi-private baths, a living room and kitchenette.

University Village, an off-campus student housing facility located at 805 N. Lillian St., will receive minor upgrades to allow for ADA compliance. Upon completion, Tarleton will maintain and operate both facilities.

In August, the university will complete construction on a $25 million residence hall at the corner of Jones St. and Lillian St. Work on the four-story hall began summer 2013. The 514-bed facility will help the university provide accomodations for an increasing student enrollment.
