I t, r ', I ; -: ' v wo" ; Student housing: 'a showcase' New married student housing at the University "is a showcase for such projects in the U.S.," a top administrator for the College Housing Division of the Department of Housing and Urban Development John Otto, chief housing officer for HUD's regional office in Denver, made this statement after touring Phase I and Phase 1 1 projects at the University which provide 644 low-cost apartment units for married students and their families. Mr. Otto said the University built Phase I and Phase II at a cost of $15 per square foot, which is $9 per square foot less than similar projects across the nation. "Yet the quality is still very good." He labeled recent incidents of sewers backing into several apartments apart-ments in Phase II as "strictly a construction problem" which should not reflect on the total quality of the project. |
