The new $11.8 million residence hall is being built to accommodate growing student housing needs. It will feature a Newman Center, a Catholic ministry centre found on secular university campuses throughout the world. The new residence facility is designed to provide a spiritual atmosphere.

The housing in the residence hall will be open to all University students, Catholic students, as well as students of faith, who can take part in Newman Center activities and attend events. A 2,300 square-foot chapel will be featured as the centrepiece of the development

Troy University Foundation is building the facility, with financing provided by Troy Bank and Trust. The new residence hall is expected to be completed by August 2013.
