Jacksonville University confirmed late Wednesday that it will expand north of its 200-acre Arlington campus by adding a 274-person riverfront dorm to be completed in fall 2015.
JU said it completed agreements with Rimrock Devlin LLC to develop the new housing.

The announcement comes the same day JU confirmed it bought 40 acres of riverfront property immediately south of its campus. It also is adding campus dining options, a football/lacrosse stadium and a $1 million expansion of the University's River House student center.

In May, the Daily Record reported plans for the 60-acre Dolphin Reef development north of the campus whose first phase is envisioned as a dorm targeted for first-year students. Developer Rimrock Devlin LLC wants to buy the property and work with JU.

Whoa! Good for JU, they're a great asset to Arlington. I'm sad to see the boys home go, it's always neat to drive by there and see horses. (if im thinking about the right place, the article said it closed a few years back).
