New Bentonville apartments will house future medical students

• The complex will be on an 11-acre site and include two residential buildings at 1100 and 1102 NE J St. One will be reserved for students, according to a news release from the Alice L. Walton Foundation.

What they're saying: "Opportunities for recreation and relaxation reinforce the principles of whole health (physical, mental, social and emotional well-being), and are a central feature of the broader Crystal Bridges campus and a focus of both the School and the neighboring Heartland Whole Health Institute," the release states.

• The property includes a natural woodland area, ponds and walking trails.

The big picture: The housing makes for at least four construction projects backed by Alice Walton in Bentonville near her art museum that opened in 2011.

• The museum is expanding, and both the medical school and Whole Health Institute are also under construction.
