ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Harris-Stowe State University is planning a second residence hall.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the university will break ground July 20 for the $15 million building.
The residence hall will provide room for 200 students. Funding comes from the Department of Education's HBCU Capital Financing Program.
Harris-Stowe opened its first residence hall four years ago. University officials tell the newspaper they have a waiting list for students wanting to live on campus.
