St. Paul's University Catholic Center submitted designs and informational plans for a $45 million residential college facility to the Madison Landmarks Commission Monday.
The St. Paul Catholic Student Center and Residential College would replace the existing center at 723 State St. on Library Mall, which contains parts that were built in the late 1800s.
""Over the past 10 years the student involvement at St. Paul's has grown tremendously and the students have consistently made it known that better facilities are important,"" the center's website said.
The 14-story building would include a chapel seating 400-600 people and apartments and residential rooms for 175-200 people.
The center, which would be funded by both the center and private benefactors, would also feature private study spaces, office space, music rooms and a dining hall.
The project will go before the Landmarks Commission and the Urban Design Commission Nov. 8. It will also need to be approved by the City Council.
