The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved today $70 million for Stephen F. Austin State University to construct the 100,000-square-foot Lumberjack Crossing residence hall directly east of the Lumberjack Landing residence hall and south of Pineywoods Dining Hall. The four-story building will provide housing and support amenities for up to 335 students. It will include double-occupancy rooms with suite-style bathrooms, accessible accommodations, lounge and study spaces, staff offices and student collaboration environments. The project also will expand campus cooling capacity with a new chiller and supporting infrastructure planned for the university’s central plant. Construction is anticipated to begin this year with substantial completion targeted for 2028. This rendering shows the Lumberjack Crossing’s west entrance.
