Foundation Hall will provide housing for 340 students in a modern, student-centered environment designed to support comfort, community, and student success. Features include air conditioning, community-style bathrooms with private toilet and shower stalls, shared study and lounge spaces, hammock areas, and an outdoor patio. The new residence hall is designed to meet growing housing demand while creating opportunities for students to connect, collaborate, and thrive on campus.
The new residence hall supports Winona State’s long-term residence life strategy by allowing renovations in existing campus residence halls while maintaining overall bed capacity. It also reflects the university’s commitment to student success, inclusive campus life, and the strategic goals outlined in the university’s 10-year strategy plan, Winona State 2035.
“Foundation Hall is a milestone in shaping the future of student life at Winona State University,” said Jon Olson, Executive Director for the Winona State Foundation and Vice President for University Advancement. “We know students perform better academically when they live on campus, and this project supports that success by offering a more home-like, comfortable setting that meets their expectations. All are welcome to join us and celebrate!”
The Foundation Hall groundbreaking event is free and open to the public.
