To support the growing number of students studying on the Boulder campus, the University of Colorado wants to build a new $60 million dorm in the Williams Village complex that could accommodate 560 to 575 freshmen.
The campus, which has not yet presented the plan to CU’s Board of Regents, put out a request for bids to construct the Williams Village East Residence Hall last week. The regents must approve all capital projects with budgets greater than $2 million.
As proposed, the new dorm would be modeled after the more recent six-story Williams Village North Residence Hall — and not the original Stearns and Darley towers, which are 13 to 15 stories tall — at the housing complex at 30th Street and Baseline Road.
