Construction on the Modern Theatre residence hall project At Suffolk University in Downtown Crossing in Boston has begun.

Suffolk Construction will manage the renovation and construction project, which will add a new theater to the Downtown Crossing district and create 197 suite-style units for Suffolk University students. In addition to the residence hall, the building will feature a 184-seat theater and lobby space that will also serve as a gallery. The new Suffolk University residence hall and theater is scheduled to open in fall 2010.
 
The Modern Theatre project is being designed and constructed to meet green building and LEED certification standards, the company said.
