Memorial and Alexander Halls

The $48 million capital project will locate the Honors College across both sides of beautiful, historic Founders Mall, doing so through two major project elements.

The project involves the renovation and expansion of two of the University’s oldest residential halls: Alexander and Memorial Halls. Currently separate structures, the two buildings will be connected by the now-named Carona Family Commons, a new building architecturally and functionally uniting the two residence halls. On the ground level, the Carona Family Commons provides new public access to Memorial Dining Hall and Alexander Reading Room, along with a new outdoor courtyard. On upper floors, it enhances residential life through a learning center, study rooms, gaming area, lounge spaces and a community kitchen.
