An anonymous donor has given $15 million to endow a residential college at the upcoming USC Village, according to USC News.

The donation will fund the creation of one of nine residential colleges on the future Village site, which is expected to house up to 2,700 students.

The anonymous gift comes on the heels of USC trustee Ray Irani’s $20 million donation earlier this month, which similarly endowed a Village residential college with $15 million of the total.

This is now the third gift for student housing at USC Village, with the Ray Irani Residential College and the McCarthy Honors College being the first two. The name of the new college has not been disclosed.

The $650 million project is expected to be completed by spring 2017, and in addition to student housing will include new retail space and restaurants.
