Hoboken\u2019s only higher education campus will soon be getting another major redevelopment effort as officials have signed off on a plan to revamp a modest dormitory property at Stevens Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n
During their June 9 meeting, Hoboken\u2019s Planning Board greenlit an application to demolish Davis Hall. The property, situated located along the easterly edge of the campus on Castle Point, consists of a four-story brick building and is just down the block from the recently completed Student Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jersey Digs broke the news<\/a> about the project almost two years ago.\u00a0The development is part of an ongoing upward expansion at the institute since Hoboken\u00a0revamped<\/a> zoning regulations on the campus back in 2018.<\/p>\n Designed by New York City-based Davis Brody Bond, plans for the future Davis Hall mirror the Student Center effort. The existing building will be demolished and replaced with a new thirteen-story, 238,000-square-foot mixed-use building containing academic and research facilities as well as student housing.<\/p>\n The first three levels, as well as a partially below-grade lower level, will comprise classrooms, teaching labs, and offices. The third level will also feature a green roof deck space along Wittpenn Walk, providing green infrastructure that will minimize stormwater runoff with native and adapted vegetation.<\/p>\n Levels four through six will include dry laboratory and research rooms, offices, and similar lobby and study\/gathering areas. The remainder of the complex will serve as dormitories, which Stevens says will create a total of 457 new beds for student housing and help realize their goal of providing on-campus housing for all enrollees who request it.<\/p>\n Given the demolition of the current Davis Hall, the application states that the project will achieve a net gain of 245 beds in on-campus student housing. The proposed roof of the building will include an elevated solar canopy installation, providing the building with enhanced energy and space efficiency.<\/p>\n No parking is included in the plan, as vehicle access on the Stevens campus is already limited. The development will maintain and enhance the pedestrian-oriented design of the Wittpenn Walk as part of the work.<\/p>\n The approved application for the property did not require any variances from the Planning Board, as it complies with existing zoning regulations. A possible groundbreaking date for the development has not been announced, but a 2024 annual report from the institute stated its intention to have the Davis Hall replacement project completed by 2032.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The replacement for Davis Hall in Hoboken is slated to include new classrooms, laboratories, and student housing.
