Jackson State University is increasing its housing capacity with the addition of Tiger Pointe, formerly the Sleep Inn, as a new residence option for students. The property, located at 209 South Gallatin Street less than one mile from the main campus, will be accepting students this fall.
Dr. Erin Vaughn, director of JSU’s Department of Housing and Residence Life, says the facility will accommodate more than 100 upperclassmen and help enhance the experiences of students by providing a clean, safe and welcoming community to foster academic and personal enrichment.
Constructed in 2010, the site is under exclusive contract to Jackson State and will help the university meet the needs of its growing student enrollment. The university will provide 24-hour security and free shuttle service for students to the main campus.
Each unit is furnished for double occupancy and has private baths. Tiger Pointe also offers dedicated study rooms, an expansive television lounge, workout room, laundry facilities and ample on-site parking.
