HONORS LIVING

Honors students will have a new option to live, study, eat and socialize on campus beginning fall 2025.

The energy efficient facility will include space for about 520 beds, standard amenities such as designated study areas, lounge areas for socializing and a central kitchenette on each floor. An added feature not found in other on-campus housing is a pathway opening between floors for more communications with residents.

The Honors residence hall integrates on-campus living with focused academic and social experiences to enhance Honors students’ college experience by fostering a sense of community among like-minded peers with similar academic goals or shared interests.

The Honors College oversees one Living Learning Community (LLC) and two theme communities in partnership with UNF Housing and Residence Life. The Honors LLC, Global Honors and Honors Horizons will both be located in the new residence hall beginning fall 2025.
