Corvias coordinated the demolition of existing obsolete housing inventory and constructed 724 new beds across two buildings at AU as part of the University System of Georgia’s (USG) 40-year partnership, spanning nine universities. This unprecedented P3 provides a variety of amenities and services for students at different points in their academic lives. The 97,665-SF undergraduate building includes 412 new beds while the 172,330-SF graduate hall features 312 new beds, each with Resident Assistant and Resident Director units. Undergraduate students can select from two-bedroom shared semi- or private suites. Graduate students are offered a studio or one- and two-bedroom apartments with kitchens. A Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was completed and showed the presence of lead-based paint (LBP) and asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in the five existing facilities slated for phased demolition. Corvias’ remediation efforts are in process with recommendations from an environmental consultant.
