Construction work is well under way on the Abe and Annie Seibel Foundation Student Residences, which will include seven units designed to resemble the historical homes of Galveston.

The buildings will house approximately 80 students and, when coupled with existing housing, will enable Galveston College to serve about 120 students with residence life opportunities.

The project is funded with the generous support of the Abe and Annie Seibel Foundation, which also provided a significant capital expansion grant for the Abe and Annie Seibel Foundation Wing, allowing students and the community to gather for events ranging from civic, collegiate and evenings of powerful educational enrichment.

Sullivan Brothers Builders of Galveston is construction manager for the project. Creole Design LLC of Houston is architect.
