Western Kentucky University, in partnership with Gilbane Development, broke ground on The Southern Gateway, a new, $350 million student housing complex, according to an announcement from the school.西肯塔基大学与 Gilbane Development 合作，为 The Southern Gateway 破土动工，这是一个耗资 3.5 亿美元的新学生公寓综合体，据校方公告。

The general contractor for the project is Champaign, Illinois-based Broeren Russo Builders, according to a Gilbane spokesperson. Gilbane Building, the construction arm of parent company Gilbane, performed early-stage and construction feasibility work, Gilbane told Construction Dive via email. 据 Gilbane 发言人称，该项目的总承包商是总部位于伊利诺伊州尚佩恩的 Broeren Russo Builders。Gilbane 通过电子邮件告诉 Construction Dive，母公司 Gilbane 旗下的建筑部门 Gilbane Building 承担了前期和施工可行性工作。 

The approximately 1,000-bed residential complex will replace two of WKU’s oldest such halls — Hugh Poland and Douglas Keen Halls — on the same site, according to the university’s announcement. The scope of The Southern Gateway’s cost includes the construction of the new residence hall, debt defeasance and significant facility repairs and renovations, according to WKU.根据该校的公告，这个约有 1,000 个床位的住宅综合体将在同一地点取代 WKU 最古老的两栋宿舍楼——Hugh Poland 和 Douglas Keen Halls。据 WKU 称，The Southern Gateway 的成本范围包括新宿舍楼的建设、债务解除以及重大设施维修和翻新。

Once complete, the new hall will offer students a mix of private and semi-private suite-style rooms, along with lounges and shared spaces on residential floors, per WKU. Students will also be able to use community kitchens, a 24-hour study area, new dining options and a multipurpose classroom.据 WKU 称，新宿舍楼建成后，将为学生提供私人和半私人套房式房间，以及住宅楼层的休息室和共享空间。学生还可以使用社区厨房、24 小时学习区、新的餐饮选择和多功能教室。

The Southern Gateway is the first phase of Elevate WKU, the university’s plan to create new, modern living areas for students, per the announcement. Gilbane Development announced in April that it was selected to lead the public-private partnership. The Southern Gateway 是 Elevate WKU 的第一阶段，根据公告，该大学计划为学生创造新的现代化生活区。Gilbane Development 于 4 月宣布，它已被选中领导公私合作伙伴关系。 

The partnership will include a 50-year ground lease with the Fairhope, Alabama-based Collegiate Housing Foundation, a nonprofit student housing provider which will act as owner and borrower, per the April announcement.根据 4 月的公告，该合作伙伴关系将包括与总部位于阿拉巴马州费尔霍普的非营利学生住房提供商 Collegiate Housing Foundation 签订为期 50 年的土地租赁协议，该基金会将担任所有者和借款人。

The build adds to Gilbane’s success in leveraging public-private partnerships, which the Providence, Rhode Island-based company has touted in the past. The company says it generated more than $2.3 billion from P3s in 2025 across higher education, health sciences and social infrastructure.此次建造项目进一步彰显了吉尔班（Gilbane）在公私合营（P3）模式方面的成功，这家总部位于罗德岛州普罗维登斯的公司过去曾对此引以为傲。该公司表示，2025年 从 P3 项目中获得超过 23 亿美元收入，涵盖高等教育、健康科学和社会基础设施领域。

WKU expects to open the Southern Gateway in Fall 2028.西肯塔基大学（WKU）预计南方门户（Southern Gateway）将于 2028 年秋季开放。
