Phase One of the Lower Mall Precinct (LMP) project, the redevelopment of the current St. John’s College site, is now well into the design phase. The heights of each building and the number of residence spaces without kitchens—400 units, where occupants will enjoy a meal plan at the dining hall—are established, along with the locations of residence units, dining hall and child care facilities.
We are also currently finalizing the mechanical, electrical and building envelope strategies, along with the access points for fire and emergency response. From there, we will move on to designing kitchen layouts (both in-suite and the dining hall), choosing materials for interior finishes and selecting landscape features.
Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2026, with any current St. John’s residents moving into units elsewhere in residence. Construction will begin with decommissioning and demolition of the current buildings, followed by excavation and construction of the new buildings starting in fall 2026.
