Completed fall 2011
The Colonnades residential quadrangle was constructed behind the Ernest A. Koury Sr. Business Center and three new buildings were finished for the start of the 2011-12 academic year. The new facilities house 300 students and feature single rooms and four-person suites, informal gathering places, common kitchens and study rooms and opportunities to interact with faculty-in-residence. The buildings are named Story Hall, Moffitt Hall, Harper Hall, Staley Hall and Kivette Hall in honor of individuals and families who had a major impact on the life of the university.
The five residence halls are heated and cooled by a new geothermal system located in the ground beneath the quadrangle’s commons.
Nearby, five new houses in Loy Center opened to provide additional housing and meeting spaces for Elon’s sororities and fraternities.
