NOVO Development completes a new project near Ottawa University’s OUAZ campus in Surprise, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix. The student-focused project was designed to accommodate significant enrollment expansion at the university.

Located at 14360 W. Tierra Buena Ln., the four-story residence hall contains 76,000 square feet of dormitory rooms with 308 beds. The student union contains 26,000 square feet where students and staff will utilize a fully equipped kitchen and dining facility, student lounge area, team shop, conference areas and a board room.

NOVO Development and its partners have arranged a 15-year lease for the project with Ottawa University. Wespac Construction began work on the project in October 2018 and delivered October 2019.
