The $52 million development will include MSM’s first on-campus graduate student housing, offering 187 units in a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts; a 25,000-square-foot ambulatory health facility; 9,000-square-foot fitness/wellness center; 2,500 square feet of retail space; and a four-level parking deck at the corner of Lee Street and Westview Drive.

Construction is slated for completion in time for the 2020 school year.
