VINCENNES, Ind. 鈥� 日韩中文字幕福利片 officially broke ground Oct. 23 on the site of the French Quarter property.

The French Quarter is a French-Creole-inspired complex designed to meet the interests and needs of today鈥檚 college students. It will offer apartment-style living that pays homage to the French heritage of the area. The complex is designed to appeal to students of all ages and be instrumental in recruiting more students to VU鈥檚 bachelor degree programs.

鈥淚t will open up opportunities for 日韩中文字幕福利片 students,鈥� VU President Chuck Johnson said. 鈥淧erhaps older students or bachelor鈥檚 students or returning veterans or maybe students who have families and need this type of option for housing. This may give them opportunities to enjoy 日韩中文字幕福利片 and take advantage of the great education the University has to offer.鈥�

The groundbreaking was a culmination of immense planning and hard work. The project was spearheaded by longtime Vice President for Financial Services and Government Relations Phil Rath. He led the construction or renovation of nearly every building on VU鈥檚 campus over the course of his career before passing away in July.

鈥淚t is a project that will have a tremendous impact on the University for many years,鈥� Johnson said. 鈥淚t is a continuation of a lot of the campus improvements and projects over the last several years. A lot of the credit if not all of the credit goes to Phil Rath, and his dedication and vision in making it happen.鈥�

Apartments will primarily include three-bedroom units, each with a private full bathroom, a shared living space, and a full kitchen.

Phase One of the project is bounded by First and Second streets and from Hart Street to the railroad tracks. It will include 30 apartment units with 92 total bedrooms, and the four buildings will be accented with French Quarter style railings. Property amenities will include bike storage rooms, second-floor balconies, a parking space for each bedroom, a fountain, and open outdoor space. Phase One is slated for completion by Fall 2020.

鈥淭his is a different option for our students,鈥� said VU Director of Facilities Andrew Young. 鈥淚t is independent-style living. It鈥檚 one of those things that students demand in this day and age. We still have our traditional dorms, but this is a good option to move our housing options forward.鈥�

When completed, the complex will house nearly 200 students.

The French Quarter also will serve as a vital link to the community. The First and Second street corridor is an important connection between 日韩中文字幕福利片, the Wabash riverfront, and the Main Street areas of Vincennes. The addition of the French Quarter will encourage more pedestrian traffic along this historic avenue 鈥� enriching the experience of VU students and those living and working in Vincennes.

鈥淭his project brings together what 日韩中文字幕福利片 is proud to represent - community revitalization, economic development, and student recruitment,鈥� said Linda Waldroup, VU鈥檚 Vice President of Financial Services. 鈥淎s many have recognized today, Phil Rath certainly was a visionary for this community. We now get to witness his vision come to life. I commend VU's Architectural Services team for their leadership and countless hours of dedication to moving this project forward for our students and the community.鈥�

The French Quarter was designed by RQAW 鈥� Vincennes Office. The contractors are Wolfe Construction Co., Inc. and Kerns Excavating, Inc.
