We had kind of a contest,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Grove was selected, the committee had decided on Gables. These names switched because administration decided \u201cGables Village\u201d was a better fit for the new dorms replacing Mahoney-Pearson, scheduled to open fall 2029.<\/p>\n<p>Centennial Village Phase Two will hold approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/newstudenthousing.studentaffairs.miami.edu\/centennial-village\/index.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1,150 students<\/a>, including the same luxury room styles as the first two Centennial Village buildings: standard singles, standard doubles and large doubles.<\/p>\n<p>The large doubles, according to Associate VP Richard Sobaram, were created with the intention of being used to house student-athletes or to be converted into triples, which happened in CV One this past year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the three new sky-scraper-like buildings of Centennial may seem like they would house most of the incoming freshman, there will be a deficit of 206 beds once Mahoney-Pearson is demolished.<\/p>\n<p>The administration says this will be solved with more students living off campus.<\/p>\n<p>The completion of Biscayne, Grove and Vista will create a hotspot on campus for freshmen to create a better sense of community in their own village. The incoming class will fill the barren rooms this upcoming fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Centennial Village, the newest residential buildings, began welcoming freshmen on Aug. 12, 2024. \/\/ Photo credit: Marra Finkelstein&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226],"class_list":{"0":"post-79880","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hialeah","8":"tag-hialeah","9":"tag-hialeah-headlines","10":"tag-hialeah-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
