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 New Heating Plant

The new Heating Plant  is online. The plant will consists of two sawdust boilers. With the New Heating Plant Longwood is now using 100% of sawust for heat and hot water needs. We have completed the last phase of the Heating Plant project. The new fuel delivery system is complete.

 

Bedford Hall Addition and Renovation

The Bedford Addition is complete and online. We have started on the renovation of the existing Bedford. Classes will start in the renovated building in the fall of 2012. This project will add studios, classrooms, offices and indoor and outdoor art galleries. It will also provide an end to the south side of Brock Commons that will address ADA and storm water issues. The project is constructing additions to Bedford Hall on the east and north sides of the building. The new additions will add a total of 47,000 square feet. Once the additions are complete in late spring of 2011, renovation of the existing Bedford will begin. The entire project is expected to be complete in the summer of 2012 with a LEED Silver rating.

 


 

French

 The scope of the project is to provide space for the University's Information and Instructional Technology Services Department (IITS) and selected aspects of the Communication Studies and Theater department (CST) within the existing French Hall building. In general, the space for IITS shall consist of open office areas, conference areas, and computer labs, student help desk area, waiting areas, student radio station, work rooms and storage areas. This project will relocate the University's main computer operations center. The current system at Coyner will be extended through a new vault room in Coyner, and cabled to the new University Technology Center at French Hall. 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. Site demolition will include but not be limited to the following: the French Hall Natatorium, the field house and its connector to Tabb Hall, and the demo and relocation of the tennis courts to the south end of campus.
