It Takes a Village

At an October groundbreaking, President Arthur Levine ’70 celebrated one of the most ambitious building projects in Brandeis history — a new residence hall rising on Lower Campus. The five-story 631-bed complex, slated for completion in spring 2027, will be organized into small “neighborhoods,” giving it a village-like feel. Standing alongside representatives from firms leading the construction, Levine said, “Brandeis is about to enter a golden age, and this is the first manifestation of that.”
