New student housing development to provide identity along Stadium
Drive

EDMONTON, Alberta & NEW YORK & DETROIT–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TSX, NYSE:STN

Global design firm Stantec was selected to provide full-service
architecture and engineering for a new student housing development in
the South Neighborhood of Western Michigan UniversityÔÇÖs (WMU) campus in
Kalamazoo, Michigan. The total cost of the project is $45 million, and
the target occupancy date is August 2020.

The new development will be positioned along the highly-visible Stadium
Drive and will provide space in a living-learning capacity. The
development will provide engaging living-learning environments for
students to support a reinvigorated South Neighborhood community.

WMU officials point to changing demographics on campus that include
strong international enrollment and a growing number of students from
other states. Leaders also noted that thoroughly-planned future housing
needs are a critical component of addressing those changes to the
student body alongside its evolving housing preferences.

Neighborhood and to create a new, dynamic presence for the university
along Stadium Drive,ÔÇØ said Travis Sage, senior associate and project
director at Stantec. ÔÇ£We are proud to build on our history with WMU,
