Georgetown University will begin converting the second and third floors of the Georgetown University Hotel and Conference Center, 3800 Reservoir Rd. NW, into student dorms in May. Almost half the rooms in the hotel will be converted. The renovation will provide housing for 140 students.
At the same time, the reconstruction of the former Jesuit Residence on the university’s historic Quadrangle will accommodate 148 students.
Student Kristen Sullivan told the student newspaper, the Hoya, that the rooms, although useful for providing space, may create a fractured campus. “Not only would the hotel be an isolated living space, but more people would filter through the hotel area and the food court, and I’m not entirely sure how that would impact the hospital crowd,” she said.
According to Vice President for Planning and Facilities Management Robin Morey, the renovation will have minimal impact on the layout and architecture of the hotel. For student safety, they want to minimize the amount of interaction between the hotel guests and their students, he told the Hoya.
