Coming Soon: AU Adds Residence Hall, Sports Center

Aurora University expanded its footprint this summer by kicking off construction of two new buildings: a residence hall and a sports center.

AU broke ground in August on an $18.5 million residence hall located on the main campus, just south of Vago Field. The five-story building is AU’s first new residence hall in almost a decade and will include spaces designed specifically to support college students on the autism spectrum. Construction is scheduled to be completed by August 2022.

Meanwhile, at Spartan Athletic Park, a $5 million academic and athletic facility is slated to open later this year. The 12,000-square-foot building will house AU’s new men’s and women’s wrestling program practice and training center, a weight room, and state-of-the-art facilities for students studying athletic training and exercise science.
