A $92.1 million plan aims to completely renew Ritner and Wolf residence halls at University Park campus. Beyond replacement of outdated building systems, the project will provide new amenities for residents such as air conditioning and shared private bathrooms. The halls are designed to encourage social interaction and provide adequate study rooms for residents, as well as accessibility upgrades. Pictured here is an architect's rendering of the renovated Ritner and Wolf halls as viewed from Pollock Road. The renovations also call for more natural light in the buildings and new exterior cladding.
