"Dalhousie University has begun construction on its first new student residence in more than a decade, with the school saying it has a role to play in helping the local housing crisis.
But the university’s faculty association says the multimillion-dollar project in Halifax does not make sense at a time when the school faces financial issues.
The new L-shaped six-storey building located behind the Dalhousie Arts Centre will house about 213 students in apartment-style units ranging from one to three bedrooms, featuring kitchens and in-suite laundry.
The building is aimed at upper-year undergrad or graduate students, who have said through recent surveys they are looking for this type of housing rather than dorm living."

Great idea.. Mount Allison University should have done this sort of project rather than destroying their historic library for aestheric reasons and at great financial costs.
