(Student Enrollment, Diversity Initiatives, Financial Management, Trustee Relations, Community Awareness) • Construction on the 96-bed building on the Melbourne Campus is scheduled for completion in time for students to move in for the start of Fall Term classes in August 2020. • The three-story building will consist of 24 suites that each contain four individual bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shared kitchen and common living area. • A smaller adjacent facility will include a laundry and study area. Parking and security will be provided. • The housing will be available to all full-time students with housing rules governed by the College’s Student Code of Conduct. • The site has room for expansion, with the possibility of more buildings added in stages in the future. • The construction is the result of research that showed strong demand from students to live on campus since EFSC became a state college in 2013. • The housing is a perfect fit for the Melbourne Campus because students can participate in a wide range of activities there, including clubs and sporting events. • EFSC joins seven other members of the Florida College System that have residence halls as more students seek on-campus residency to pursue their degrees.
