Two glass towers and a new university center will soon be rising on a hilltop property at Stevens Institute of Technology, who recently put up fencing around two buildings just south of the Howe Center. Demolition work is slated to commence soon at Jacobus and Hayden Halls, two older brick buildings that will be replaced by the ambitious University Center.

The project is made possible by new zoning enacted by the city last year, which created a University District that allowed greater building height in certain areas of the campus. Hoboken’s planning board later approved the institute’s 75,000-square-foot University Center, which will be LEED Silver Certified and rise about 222 feet at the highest point. Plans were drawn up by Baltimore-based Design Collective and Wallace Roberts and Todd.

The project will consist of an extensive three-story university center building with 21- and 19-story glass towers rising from the brick base. The towers will be linked by a breezeway and will accommodate approximately 1,000 beds in single, double, and suite-style apartments. The tower portion of the development will return many students to Stevens who are currently living in off-campus housing around Hoboken.

Construction is nearing the halfway mark on the much-anticipated Student Housing and University Center at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Design Collective and Wallace Roberts and Todd are the designers of the development, which consists of 16- and 18-story towers that rise from a three-story 70,000-square-foot base. The project aims to house 994 students, helping accommodate Steven’s projected campus population of 3,500.

Recent photographs show the two-tower development quickly ascending above the hilltop. Construction cranes stand above each superstructure, and the wooden formwork and steel rebar can be seen protruding from the top story, awaiting a pour for the next level of floor plates, perimeter columns, and inner walls. Work on the glass curtain wall has yet to commence. The project is aiming for LEED-Silver certification.

The university center is planned to provide a fitness center, a game room, dining venues, a convenience store, a multipurpose space for conferences, lectures, and university events, a private dining room to host guests, and flexible lounge areas. The living spaces come in single, double, and suite-style apartments, and amenities range from kitchenettes in each unit, private in-suite bathrooms, a refuse/recycling room on each level, and shared study lounge on the residential floors. A two-story bridge framed with large diagonal trusses connect the two towers and will make room for a recreational room, study, and lounge spaces.

Completion is expected during the 2021-2022 academic year.

Nice. I know Stevens has a few more high profile projects planned for its campus. It will be a very different neighborhood in the coming years.

Pics by me. Taken today.

Can see SIT University Towers in Hoboken. Along with the rest of Jersey City.

These are fairly attractive, and make a nice skyline presence.

Stevens has some more projects in the works, so hopefully there are more skyline-enhancing additions.
