It seems colleges and universities around metro St. Louis are booming by adding new educational, lab, residential and athletic facilities on their campuses.
Also, developers are building lots of off-campus/near-campus housing all across the metro area.
Below are just a few renderings and photos of site work occurring on a few local college campuses.
St. Louis University, Phase II, site work underway
Although one major dorm is already under construction, site work has started on St. Louis University's 7-story Phase II dorms.
This means more cranes over the Central Corridor.
University officials announced the two projects nearly a year ago. Combined, they will accommodate more than 900 students and represent a nearly $115 million housing investment.
The building that will adjoin Griesedieck will have single and double suite-style rooms with 528 beds, a dining hall, study lounges and an outdoor plaza. Completion is scheduled for summer 2017.

St. Louis University, Phase I, under construction
The residence hall at Laclede and Spring also will have single and double suite-style rooms with a total of 450 beds. A conference room, study rooms, lounges, a chapel and a small outdoor amphitheater are part of the project.

Maryville University, Residence Hall, under construction
Phase I is a $20 million residence hall, the first part of a two-phase construction project.
Maryville has about 700 students living on campus in two residence halls and five apartment buildings. The new residence hall, to be built in two phases, will eventually accommodate about 445 students. Phase II will add an additional wing with student living spaces and additional lounges on each floor.
The four-story residence hall will be located where the Maryville’s softball field is currently situated and is expected to be occupied by August 2016.
Phase I will feature rooms for 228 students, a fitness center, an all-purpose room and student lounges on each of four floors. Surface parking for 300 cars will also be constructed.

Washington University, Rubelmann Hall, under construction
As part of the South 40 redevelopment, the hall is a 5-story, 73,000 square foot student housing facility located in the heart of the South 40 residential campus.
The first floor space will house future storefront opportunities, including a new First Year Center, and add to the existing entertainment and retail venues along the main student pathway. The remaining four stories of the building will be used for student housing accommodating 180 student beds and a 3-bedroom faculty family apartment.

St. Louis College of Pharmacy, Phase II, Mixed-Use w/Residential, under construction
The $40 million project through a combination of donor contributions and a bond issue.
The first floor will include a large dining hall and kitchen, reception area and a competition gymnasium. The second floor will have additional seating for the dining hall, meeting rooms, and an intramural gymnasium. A recreation center with a 200-meter, three-lane indoor track will be the main feature on the third floor. The student center, including a success center and student support offices, will be on the fourth floor.
The college’s second residence hall with room for 220 beds will be on the fifth through seventh floors, nearly doubling the college’s on-campus housing space.
