As part of a $220 million public-private redevelopment project, Brown has taken occupancy in the completely reimagined South Street Landing. More than 400 University staff members from 11 administrative departments now work in South Street Landing in Providence's Jewelry District. Brown has leased 136,000 square feet of the 265,000-square-foot South Street Landing. Relocating administrative offices to the building advances the University’s academic mission by freeing space on College Hill for undergraduate-focused academic pursuits, and it strengthens connections between the administrative units that serve as the University’s backbone.
