In November 2005, NYU announced plans to build a 26-floor, residence hall on 12th Street. The residence hall is expected to accommodate about 700 undergraduates and contain a host of other student facilities. It is to be the tallest building in the East Village. The plans have caused anger among East Village and other New York City residents, as the new building would be built over the old St. Ann's Church. Following construction, the new residence hall was named Founders Hall.
