New Construction Projects
Fifty-three institutions reported 63 new construction projects completed from the beginning of the Winter 2006 term through the Fall 2007 term. These projects included a variety of types of living units, as defined in Table 1. Super suites (24.1%), adjoining suites (18.1%), modified traditional rooms (15.7%), and individual contract apartments (15.7%) were the most common among new construction facilities. Other types of units being built included apartments (13.3%), traditional rooms (4.8%), and other rooms (8.4%). The majority (94.6%) of respondents reported that, upon completion, the institution would own the new facility,

and all respondents indicated that the institution also would manage the new facility. The primary reasons offered by CHOs for constructing new facilities included meeting the demand for additional beds and meeting the needs and interests of students (71% and 68%, respectively). Additional responses included increasing the variety of housing options (49%), increasing the percentage of undergraduates housed on campus (47%), and providing higher levels of privacy (46%). Thirty-six percent of all new construction projects consisted of 75% to 100% double-occupancy bedrooms, compared with nearly one quarter of new construction projects containing 75% to 100% single-occupancy bedrooms.
