Public-private financing of housing project a first at UNR

The University of Nevada, Reno, is turning to public-private financing of a campus housing project for the first time with an apartment complex that’s under construction on Evans Avenue just south of Peccole Park. The project, 132 one- and two-bedroom apartment units for graduate students, replaces 40 small and aging units built in 1960. The old units have been demolished.
