Innovative Student Residences “A unique, world-class concept in which the student experience encompasses a sought after urban lifestyle and an environment that nurtures learning, creativity, recreation and the development of the leaders of the future by setting a new benchmark for student life.” The development of the University of Saskatchewan’s (U of S) world-class student residences is underway, in partnership with the award-winning Meridian Development Corp. The first phase will include living accommodations for some 400 students. Construction is to begin in the fall of 2009. These residences will offer a design that encompasses today’s sought-after urban chic aesthetic while embracing a reverence for the timeless architectural significance of the campus. This unique lifestyle concept will-afford students a stimulating environment that nurtures learning. From development through operation, these residences will be a key component of how the U of S develops its students into future leaders of Saskatchewan and the world. The residences will not only be creative in design, but will also be thoughtful of the environment, setting new standards for sustainability. As proud U of S Alumni, Meridian’s executive is enthusiastic about having been selected as the university’s partner in this project. The U of S and Meridian are very pleased to be strategic partners with the Government of Saskatchewan in pursing our common goal of making this province a global leader that has emerged on an international stage. |
