In December 2023, the school estimated the construction project would cost $40 million.<\/p>\n<p>While colleges across the country are looking at ways to cut back in line with broadly declining enrollment, the new residence and dining hall will accommodate the growing enrollment at Thaddeus Stevens, where the number of students has nearly doubled from 875 to 1,491 since 2013.<\/p>\n<p>With a 150-student capacity, the new residence hall will be the two-year technical college\u2019s largest dormitory on its main campus, which currently has four halls that house up to 260 students total. The dining hall, named in honor of project benefactor and alum Michael C. Mylott, can host up to 500 people and will replace the college\u2019s existing dining hall. A mailroom and meeting rooms will also be included in the building.<\/p>\n<p>                            <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"control-left fas tnt-times-circle\"\/><br \/>\n                            <span class=\"sr-only\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                <span class=\"pull-right photo-carousel-caption-toggle\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-instance=\"#carousel-d6e2019a-7ffc-47c4-9f88-cc9637bf5b6d\" data-target=\".caption-inner-d6e2019a-7ffc-47c4-9f88-cc9637bf5b6d\"><\/p>\n<p>                <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pedro Rivera, president, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, speaks during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Stevens Residence Hall and Mylott Dining Hall on the Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology campus at 750 E.
