Students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach head back to campus and new digs. Jacksonville-based Stellar has completed Apollo Hall, the new student residences at Embry-Riddle. The new building will expand student housing options on the Daytona Beach campus.
According to Joe Mark, senior project manager for Stellar, the new housing offers a more residential and up-to-date approach than typical dormitory living.
Apollo Hall will house 256 students, whose numbers are increasing with the demand for aeronautical courses of study. Designed by JSA Architects and constructed by Stellar, the student residence offers shared living spaces in combination with private spaces to provide apartment style living.
“The new student residence building, Apollo Hall, contributes greatly to the state-of-the-art facilities at Embry-Riddle,” said Mark. “There was a significant need on the campus for this type of housing, and we are pleased that our team was able to provide it.”
The 67,000 square-foot, four-story concrete structure includes everything from dorm rooms, lounge areas and laundry rooms to open space and study areas. State-of-the-art technology includes wireless connection in study and lounge areas, data jacks in individual rooms, keyless entry and building security.
The completion of Apollo Hall is the latest project Stellar has undertaken at Embry-Riddle. Stellar repaired the Simulator Building, the P Building, and also assessed the considerable damage to the university’s administration building after a powerful tornado struck the campus on Christmas Day in 2006.
