The University broke ground on its new residence hall project this summer, and work is currently ongoing alongside students’ return to campus. Models of the project are on the Brandeis website, as well as signs adorning the gated off region of the Theatre parking lot. Some students have begun calling the construction “The Pentagon” as its renderings seem to indicate a multi-edged structure similar to the shape. Students have felt the inconveniences of these parking obstructions since returning to campus, questioning how the university is prioritizing its commuter students during this time of construction. Students have reported hearing significant construction noise throughout the day.
