The new Honors Village, set to open in fall 2019, towers over the surrounding neighborhood. The parking garage sits empty, built to serve the proposed academic and recreational spaces as well as around 1,000 residents.
The Honors Village is the new home for the University of Arizona’s Honors College, which before was spread out around campus, and comes in conjunction with other efforts to centralize programs like the new UA Global Center.
As construction nears completion for the 2019 fall semester, the potential impacts are not yet apparent. For students, it provides a new mixed-use space that allows for a combination of academic, residential and recreational uses in one centralized place that is mainly unseen elsewhere on campus.
