"See Sarah Artecona, assistant vice president for media and community relations, has heard the calls for affordable faculty housing. In a staggering South Florida real estate market, the university is increasingly attempting to provide reasonable housing options for its faculty.

'When faculty comes here, one of the first things they ask is, 'Do you offer housing?' she said.

She said that construction is planned to begin in 2010 or 2011 on the South Campus Village, which will offer 1,100 units of affordable housing to UM faculty. The Village will be located at 12500 S.W. 152 St."
