FSU project for new housing, dining, parking could cost $374 million

Florida State University is working on getting funding needed for its northwest campus project of new housing, dining and parking – a project expected to cost $374 million.

In a February FSU Board of Trustees meeting, university officials shared that the project’s team is working with the Florida Division of Bond Finance and the Florida Board of Governors to secure external financing for the first phase of the project, which will include three separate financings for a new residence hall, a new dining hall and a new parking garage. 

The parking garage, dining facility and new residence hall are all part of a grand project in FSU’s 2020-30 campus master plan to create a living complex at the northwest area of campus and transform the quadrant into a “pedestrian friendly vibrant academic and residential village,” according to a university report.

The future developments will all be located at the northwest corner of Call Street and Chieftan Way. While the 1,200-bed residence hall is expected to cost $284.4 million, the new parking garage will be $40.5 million and the dining hall will come out to $40 million.

“It will increase on-campus housing options from 6,700 to 8,200 beds,” Allard added. “The new dining facility and residence halls will bring fresh services. It will also create a beautiful community where students can live, study, eat and play.” FSU's on-campus housing is currently at capacity, according to a university spokesperson.
