The Springs Residential Complex is on the northwest side of campus between the O'Connell Center and the law school. The facility was built to help address the continued high demand for on-campus housing and to assist with the reassignment of male student athletes to residence facilities when Yon Hall was closed in 1995.
The Springs includes six four-story buildings and a commons. Its single-room and double-room suites have shared baths and are centrally air-conditioned and heated. The facility houses up to 25 percent student athletes. Floor lounges are furnished with tables, chairs, cable television service, and a kitchenette. University tennis courts and racquetball courts border the complex. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is within easy walking distance, with the Florida Baseball Stadium and the O'Connell Center at shorter distances along the way.
The Springs Residential Complex is part of the Tolbert Residence Area. KBJ Architects Inc. of Jacksonville and Charles R. Perry Construction Inc. of Gainesville completed the Springs at a cost of approximately $12 million.
Springs is home to GatorWell at the Springs, a satellite program from the Student Health Care Center. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the on-site center, which offers massage, meditation, yoga, and other programs and activities that promote an overall wellness-focused lifestyle.
