As part of Syracuse University’s strategic housing plan and in response to student needs and feedback, two new residence halls will open their doors to students in the upcoming 2024-25 academic year. Orange Hall is the new name for the former Sheraton hotel, which is in the midst of its conversion that secures its history as a welcoming and vibrant space newly redesigned to support students. The building, which will contain the University’s sixth all-you-care-to-eat dining center, will house nearly 400 sophomore students beginning in Fall 2024.
Milton Hall is the former apartment complex known as The Marshall at 727 South Crouse Ave., a fully modernized space primarily home to second-year students, featuring full kitchens and private bathrooms. The 287-bed building was renamed Milton Hall in acknowledgement of a transformational estate gift bequeathed to the University from Laura and Jack Milton. The Miltons graduated from Syracuse in 1951 and were longtime supporters of the University, fostering numerous educational opportunities, events and lectures, and contributing to the construction of several campus facilities, including the Life Sciences Complex.
The strategic housing plan, announced by Chancellor Kent Syverud this past spring, aligns with the goals and aspirations identified in the overarching Campus Framework. The plan also includes the construction of the University’s first new residence hall in 15 years, which will be located at 700 Ostrom Ave. at the corner of Comstock and Waverly avenues.
