Demolition has begun on the plaza as crews worked to tear down the isolated buildings that once housed El Cerro and the Book Exchange.

We expect the main structure, that was once home to bars like Knight Library and Scoop, to be torn down later this week.

“The mixed-use student housing redevelopment project will contain approximately 1,300 beds aimed to meet the demands of UCF’s growing enrollment, and will feature state of the art amenities including a community center, restaurants and shops, a resort-style pool and parking garage,” said Gina Cowart, a vice president and spokesperson with American Campus Communities, the company building the project.

We will continue to follow the progression of the plaza and the new apartment complexes that are expected.
