Bastyr University Breaks Ground on New Student Housing Project
Bastyr is pleased to announce plans to develop an eco-friendly student "village" on campus that will more than triple the University's student housing capacity. This new group of 11 cottage-style buildings will have the capacity to house 132 students and will be ready for occupancy in the summer of 2010. Designed to fit into the campus' natural environment, the LEED-certified residences will help minimize the number of commutes to campus, reduce pollution and traffic on local roads, and enhance the sense of community at Bastyr. We broke ground on May 8 with a special ceremony to mark the beginning of construction.
