Housing Development for the St. Paul Campus

The University of Minnesota is requesting information from developers for consideration of future housing options on the St. Paul campus. The primary goal is to deliver housing in a manner that minimizes the impact to the University's balance sheet and credit rating, while also delivering the project through others, not through the University's Capital Project Management. The development is intended to replace the current 500-bed residence hall with traditional student living apartments and/or configurations to support communal living with universal design features. Key considerations include: • Target population: primarily 1st and 2nd-year undergraduate students, upper division students, and potentially single graduate students or faculty and staff • Housing type: traditional student living apartments and/or configurations to support communal living with universal design features • Range: 100 - 500 beds • Dining: no common dining/meal plan is assumed for the St. Paul campus housing, retail food service will be available in the new Campus Center • Amenities: developers should respond with specific attributes that address the Twin Cities campus, especially regarding "FOMO" for campus life on the East Bank campus, and the amenities package
