University of Wyoming, North and South Halls

The North and South Halls represent the largest construction project in campus history and the first new residence halls built in more than 60 years. The multi-phase development delivers more than 300,000 square feet of modern student housing and dining space, replacing aging towers with two contemporary residence halls and a two-story dining facility. North Hall, a six-story, 183,000-square-foot building with approximately 410 beds and a new dining center, was delivered first, with South Hall — a five-story, 124,000-square-foot residence hall adding 540 beds — opening approximately six months later. Together, the buildings anchor a new residential hub that strengthens connections between living, learning, and campus life.

Designed in the University of Wyoming’s Collegiate Gothic sandstone style, the halls feature modern room types, semi-suite layouts, and student-focused amenities including individual climate controls, community kitchens, study lounges, and centralized services. The dining center seats up to 850 diners and offers nine food-concept stations, a visible bakery, and expanded meal-plan options. High-performance systems, durable finishes, and flexible social spaces elevate the student experience, establishing a new benchmark for residential life at the University of Wyoming.
