Bucknell University will construct four new student apartment-style residence halls with enhanced outdoor recreation amenities over the next two years at Bucknell West to replace a complex of residential housing units known as "The Mods," which have housed students for the past 50 years. The new three-story residence halls will have Bucknell's traditional red brick exterior and will accommodate 70 beds apiece, or 280 students. They will include apartments of varying sizes and configurations with single bedrooms and shared kitchen and bath spaces, similar to Bucknell's South Campus Apartments. Each building will have four student lounge areas and laundry facilities.
