Central Campus
Kirwan-Blanding Hall
Opening in Fall 2026, the all-new Kirwan-Blanding Hall represents a new chapter in Wildcat Living. Built on the historic site of the former Kirwan-Blanding Complex, this state-of-the-art residence hall combines the spirit of the former campus landmark with modern design and amenities for today’s UK students. With suite-style rooms, comfortable community spaces and the convenience of living in the heart of Central Campus, Kirwan-Blanding is more than a place to live, it’s a hub for friendships, learning and unforgettable college experiences.
