About
The Purpose of This Site
UARKHome was created to give students, families, and campus partners a clear place to learn about the university’s long-term housing plans. As our campus grows, so does the need for transparent information about new residence halls, off-campus options, parking and transit adjustments, and other housing-related initiatives. This site brings those updates together in one location.
Why Housing is Expanding
The University of Arkansas continues to see strong enrollment and a continued preference among students to live on campus. Research shows that students who live in university housing—particularly in their first year—are more likely to feel connected, supported, and academically confident. To meet this demand, the university is planning new residence halls and strengthening housing options for both first-year and returning students.
What You Can Expect to Find Here
This microsite provides timely, straightforward information about the changes underway in campus housing. It includes:
- Details and timelines for new residence halls
- Parking and transit updates related to construction
- Highlights of off-campus options and support tools
- News stories and project milestones
- Background context on housing strategy and campus growth
Our Approach
Housing growth is a coordinated effort involving campus planners, architects, transit and parking services, student affairs, and partners across the university. The goal is to expand capacity while maintaining a welcoming, student-centered experience. This includes focusing on accessibility, community spaces, safety, and environmental stewardship in all new construction.
Staying Updated
As projects evolve, UARKHome will continue to provide updates, renderings, timelines, and announcements. Students and families can return here to follow progress or explore housing-related changes that may affect their experience on campus.
