Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Busy downtown Dayton developer Crawford Hoying will be updating Wright State University’s student housing — with plans for open gathering areas, a fitness site, a swimming pool and more, the university said Wednesday.

Crawford Hoying has acquired The Woods, Honors Hall and other Wright State residential housing off Zink Road from AM Management, Wright State said. The company and the university are crafting an operating agreement to take effect starting in the fall of 2022.

A university spokesman first acknowledged that AM Management sold the properties to Crawford Hoying back in March.

AM Management has owned and maintained most housing facilities on the Wright State campus since 2006. The contract between the university and AM Management had been extended several times since then and was set to end in June this year, the Wright State Guardian student newspaper reported in March.

In a new university release, Wright State and Crawford Hoying representatives talk about plans to update student residence halls first built in the 1970s and 1980s.
