Projects
Longwood University has a number of construction projects in progress or scheduled to begin in the near future.
North Campus Apartments at Lancer Park
Construction has commenced on a housing expansion at Lancer Park that will provide Longwood with the beds necessary to replace the Cunninghams.
With architectural design that emulates many components familiar to Longwood's campus, the "North Campus Student Housing" project at Lancer Park will comprise:
- three buildings
- two residential structures each containing 227 bedrooms in one, two and four bedroom apartment configurations
- one Commons building which will be home to a food service operation and student gathering space
The new buildings are slated to be ready for occupancy in the fall of 2013.

The space for CTS will consist of a media production facility; the media production facility will consist of a main set room, control rooms, editing bays, offices, and storage rooms.
