The largest building permit issued this week in Alabama is for the massive capital project at Samford University — the Samford Horizons project — which is a $70 million campus improvement plan.

The plan addresses infrastructure needs for the entire campus, increases energy efficiency, practices campus-wide conservation, and refreshes and renews every facility—all steps in the process of creating a sustainable future for generations of Samford students.

Right before fall commencement, the university announced Phase 1 of the Samford Horizons campus development plan, a phase that includes:

  • A new 513-bed residence hall for first-year students
  • Two smaller residence halls totaling 140 beds for upper-division/Greek students
  • An approximate 600-space addition to the north parking facility

This phase will open in fall of 2025. Robins & Morton is listed as the lead contractor for the project.
