DU to break ground on conservational residence hall

Nagel Hall to accommodate upper classmen in effort to provide mentoring opportunities to first-year and sophomore students

DENVER — The University of Denver will break ground on its newest residence hall, Nagel Hall, at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow. The 150,000-square-foot, five-story building will be a state-of-the art environmentally-friendly building with 369 beds, a food-court-style dining area, space for classes and events, a game room and an outdoor dining plaza. Nagel Hall will also house academic research space, offices and classrooms for the Department of Psychology. In order to accommodate upperclassmen who want to live on campus, the residence hall will have 212 beds for sophomores, 138 apartments for juniors and seniors and 19 beds for residential assistants and staff.

To lessen the structure’s environmental impact, architects have also incorporated an energy efficient heating-and-cooling system, operable windows, a copper roof, low water-use faucets, dual-flush toilets, and local and recycled materials.

DU Trustee Ralph Nagel and his wife, Trish, contributed $4 million to spearhead
the project, which will cost a total of $39,775,000.
