Brasfield & Gorrie Breaks Ground on New Student Housing Community at University of Florida’s Innovation Square

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Oct. 23, 2014)—Brasfield & Gorrie broke ground on the new Infinity Hall student housing development at Innovation Square near the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. A groundbreaking ceremony was held to mark the start of work on the new undergraduate community.

The project consists of a five-story, 92,000 square foot public/private residence hall. In addition to four floors of student residence suites, the facility will include team meeting rooms, an entertainment room, flexible spaces that will be furnished by the University of Florida to support their entrepreneurship programs and a resident apartment and maintenance shop.

Located at Innovation Square only two blocks from the University of Florida’s main campus and across the street from Innovation Hub, Infinity Hall is being privately developed by Signet Development in partnership with the University of Florida Department of Housing and Residence Education. The new live/learn community will offer the nation’s first entrepreneurial-based academic residential community.

Serving as construction manager-at-risk, Brasfield & Gorrie is partnering with developer Signet Development and architect Perkins+Will on this $15.9 million construction project, which will be completed in 2015.
