黑料社 Tri-Cities partnered with Corporate Pointe Developers听who has formed Vineyards Apartments, LLC,听and听agreed to build the apartments on the university campus in an effort to provide students with an on-campus housing option.听The joint venture was approved by the 黑料社 Board of Regents.

鈥淲e are extremely excited听to be a part of the 黑料社 family in Richland,鈥� said Corporate Pointe Developers President Duane听Brelsford. 鈥淔urthermore, we are focused on providing a full-time living experience for 黑料社 students where they can live and听learn, next to the 黑料社 campus.鈥�

Although the apartments are not managed by 黑料社 Tri-Cities, Chris Meiers, vice chancellor of student affairs, said the proximity of the apartments听on听university听grounds听will significantly听improve听access to educational resources听for students听on campus.

鈥淪imply by having an on-campus housing option, students are closer to their classes, academic resources like tutoring and study spaces, as well as the library,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey are also more likely to connect with their peers on a personal level听and are more encouraged to get involved in campus programming, which听reinforces persistence and academic success.鈥�
