SU Announces Plans for New Student Housing Complex

SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University will break ground on the largest facility in campus history this fall, converting the former Court Plaza Shopping Center and Temple Hill Motel sites on Route 13 into a 750-bed student housing complex.

Comprised of three separate buildings connected by a central courtyard, the first building in the five-story, 323,371-square-foot complex is expected to open in August 2021, with the remaining two following in 2022. Cost is projected between $70 and $80 million.

“Since the SU Foundation, Inc., purchased these properties in 2017, we have been excited about their potential,” said Jason Curtin, SU vice president of advancement and external affairs and Foundation executive director. “One of our goals is to develop a signature facility to mark the arrival into the City of Salisbury and the University from the south. With that objective in mind, we are very happy with the renderings we have seen so far. We also are pleased that we will be able to offer this new living space to our students using no state appropriations.”

Man Salisbury is nothing more than a POS liberal college and Perdue farms and of course the barage of healthcare and pharmacies.

Will they start holding their students responsible for their actions or will they still cover up the crimes being committed with no punishment or kicked out of the University? Will Campus Police Start doing their job and write up the crimes and arrest the perpetrators? The gangs and drug pushers are going to like this setup.
