The new dorms on South Green are projected to be complete by mid-July and construction is on time.
Construction on four new dorms on South Green and the learning commons are currently on schedule and officials say the project is more than 80 percent complete.
The university plans to finish construction by July 16. The new dorms have not been named yet.
The Northeast building is the furthest along on construction at 89 percent complete, said Christine Sheets, assistant vice president for capital and facilities planning.
“Some may finish early, some may finish a day or two late,” said Christine Sheets, assistant vice president for capital and facilities planning.
Second furthest along on construction is the Southwest building, with 80 percent finished, and is predicted to be complete by May 26, Sheets said.
The Southeast building is 76 percent complete and should be completed by June 25, and the Northwest building is 71 percent finished and is expected to be complete on July 8, Sheets said.
The learning commons, located between Ping Recreation Center and Morton Hall, is 70 percent finished and will be finished on July 16, Sheets said.
The dorms will not be cleaned or be ready to move in by the projected completion date, Sheets said.
According to a previous Post article, the construction on the South Green is a $110 million cost that is being financed with $100 million in debt and $10 million from Residential Housing reserves.
