Students have rented all 384 studio apartments in The Broadway, the newest building on campus. The top eight floors of the two-towered, 10-story complex are student housing. The second level features classrooms and a 24-hour computer lab. Retail shops will soon be open for business on the ground floor, and the largest eco-roof in Multnomah County will be planted on the rooftop.

The $47.5 million, 217,000-square foot complex is the latest public/private partnership among Portland State, the PSU Foundation, and Gerding/Edlen Development, LLC, the latter of which helped arrange and coordinate The Broadway’s bond financing and managed its construction.

Prior to The Broadway, PSU had only 1,240 units for its 24,000 students.
