Nothing impacts the quality of life for students who live on campus more than the quality of their on-campus housing. As the University of Miami continues to rise as a top-tier research institution, so too do students’ expectations for a comfortable, secure, and supportive living and learning environment.
In keeping with the University’s vision to become an exemplary and excellent institution, we have embarked on a multi-phase housing plan to improve our current housing offerings for students. In doing so, the University will meet student – and parent – needs and expectations as the institution continues to attract brighter and more talented students.

Phase 1: Lakeside Village
The first step in this plan was to construct a new facility on the south side of Lake Osceola so that the current number of bed spaces can be maintained during future construction and to meet increasing demand over time. With a commitment to the integration of the various aspects of campus life into a single facility, this space elevates the daily experiences of countless students, faculty, staff, and visitors who pass through this central site every day.
The village activates the surrounding area and highlights the tropical lushness of the Coral Gables campus. It excites the campus community and becomes a destination in and of itself. Most of all, this village adds to the sense of place and belonging for those who live, work, and learn there.
Lakeside Village successfully opened to students in August 2020.

Phase 2: Centennial Village
The University of Miami’s Centennial Village, the second phase of a multi-year plan to modernize campus housing, will serve as a hallmark of the Coral Gables campus and support the University’s efforts to competitively recruit top academic and athletic talent.
This second phase began with the complete replacement of Hecht Residential College as well as the Hecht/Stanford Dining. Ibis and Coral Residential Colleges open with 881 first year student beds and a new dining facility in August 2024. Three (3) new residential building with 1,149 beds will replace Stanford Residential and is tentatively scheduled to open fall 2026.
