Construction is complete, doors are open and students now occupy the Fairfax campus's two newest residence halls.

Workers completed the construction of Rogers and Whitetop, located in the the northwest corner of campus, over winter break. Students from the University Commons housing began moving in Jan. 20. 

The new housing, part of the Housing VIII construction, adds 600 beds to the Fairfax campus. The second phase of Housing VIII construction is scheduled to begin in August 2014, adding over 500 more beds to the area.  

Renovation on the Commons is scheduled to begin in Februrary. 

Connect2Mason's Jake McLernon was on the scene of the move-in to see what newly relocated students thought of their new campus homes.
