The Iowa City Hawkeye Court Apartments managed by The University of Iowa are scheduled for a major rebuilding. The rendition of the new housing complex shown above is from Balfour Beatty. Below is a photo showing the demolition of the original apartments.

“Hawkeye Court’s remaining residents will have the opportunity to lease apartments in the first of the new buildings when it opens in 2014 (a cluster of three-story buildings is planned at the site). Balfour Beatty conducted student focus groups before designing the new space, and University Housing & Dining staff members insist that residents will continue to enjoy many of the same benefits, including Cambus service. There also will be a community center on site with laundry and fitness areas as well as a multipurpose room.” (More…)
