University of North Florida Housing and Residence Life has released the Honors dorm floorplans and more living space information for the new Honors dorms.

The new Honors residence hall is still under construction on Osprey Ridge Road, next door to Osprey Fountains, and is set to open Fall 2025. Housing has yet to release room rates for the new dorm, but is allowing students to list it as a preferred residence when filling out the housing contract.

The dorms will house approximately 520 students. Housing will prioritize first-year honors students and upper-class honors students. However, if those students don’t fill the spots, the dorm is open to all students regardless of classification or Honors involvement.

Honors Dorm Floorplans

Three different types of living spaces will be available, according to the housing webpage: a two-bedroom private suite, a four-bedroom private suite and a two-bedroom double suite.

The main entrance to the new dorm hall will have one multipurpose room for events, a community laundry room, a mail pick-up room, a staff office and a convenience store, according to Housing.

Each floor will include a central community space with a kitchen, study rooms, and elevators. In total, there will be eight lounges, kitchens and study spaces.

Parking will be available for those living in the honors dorms as well as a volleyball court, basketball court, and a walking bridge to UNF drive for the Osprey Connector Shuttle stop.

• First-Year Honors: for first year students in the Hicks Honors College.
