New First-Year Residence Hall

The Future of Living at Creighton

In August of 2023, approximately 400 first-year students will move into a brand-new residence hall on 23rd Street, south of Burt Street.

 

The hall will feature rooms in the suite-style concept, with two adjoining double-occupancy bedrooms connected by a shared bathroom. Each floor will have shared community kitchenettes and dedicated spaces for student development programs. The hall will also feature an elevated outdoor courtyard for social gatherings and events.

The Rev. Daniel Hendrickson, SJ, president of Creighton University, said the new residence hall invests in Creighton’s future by investing in its future students. “The building represents a philosophical shift to how we house our freshman students, with suite-style accommodations that allow for both privacy and community,” he said. “The residence hall’s programming also will reflect our commitment to diversity and inclusion, with dedicated interfaith spaces and amenities that support student development, wellness and academics.”

Work on the site began in May of 2021.
