The project represents Phase 1 of WKU’s comprehensive housing transformation plan, which the university has termed Elevate WKU, made possible through a public-private partnership (P3) with Gilbane. The facility marks a visible step forward in the university’s long-term strategy to modernize residential facilities and elevate the student experience.
