UCF students will be able to start moving into into the third new Neptune Community residence hall this afternoon, marking the completion of all the Neptune buildings.

Students moved into the two largest Neptune residence halls, buildings 157 and 158, on Saturday and Sunday while building 156 was delayed.

UCF provided temporary housing in the Towers at Knights Plaza to students in Building 156 while the building awaited completion. The school received approval to open the building for students on Sunday evening.

Students in Building 156 can pick up their Neptune room keys between noon and 4 p.m. Monday and between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday at the Hercules Activity Center, which is adjacent to the Neptune Community. If those times are not convenient, students can make other arrangements to fit their schedules.

UCF is working with a professional moving company to make students’ transition from temporary housing to the Neptune Community as easy as possible. This is an optional service provided at no cost to students.

Students who wish to stay in their temporary rooms can contact Housing and Residence Life to let UCF know they want to do that. Those students can stay in the Towers for the fall and spring semesters at the lower Neptune rental rate.

The Neptune Community will house approximately 650 students. Building 156 has approximately 200 beds.
