The new Samford University West Village Residence Halls are multistory student housing facilities on seven acres in the southwest corner of the campus. Each of the three buildings is approximately 34,500 sq ft, and they have similar layouts. There are 77 typical suites and five handicap suites, totaling 330 beds. The suite layout includes four bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, and a living room.

The buildings are clad with brick, stucco, fiber cement siding, and vinyl single-hung windows. The roof system is a combination of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) and asphalt shingles. The structure is composed of concrete foundations, load-bearing concrete masonry units and metal stud walls, hollow core panes, and light-gauge roof trusses. The HVAC system of air handling units uses Samford University’s central plant for hot and chilled water.
