McCarthy Hall, located on Naismith Drive near Oliver Hall and Hoglund Ballpark, will not be completed until Oct. 2.
"I think it's going to be a prototype for the kind of service environment that we can provide in future projects," Robertson said.
Paul Graves, the deputy director of Design and Construction management, said the contractors who are working on constructing McCarthy have had to spend a lot of extra time clearing mud off of the streets and laying down gravel due to a very rainy summer.
A news release from the University reported project issues created by weather delays as the primary culprit for this delay.
"Any time [the contractors'] vehicles were tracking mud out onto Naismith Drive, they had to spend extra time trying to clean that up," Graves said.
While McCarthy is still being constructed, students who were originally scheduled to live there will be relocated to one floor in Naismith Hall, Robertson said.
When it is finished, McCarthy will contain such amenities as living rooms, meeting rooms, multipurpose rooms and recreation rooms as well as a half-court basketball court.
The total cost of the Daisy Hill construction is approximately $48 million, which includes the cost of the residence halls and the demolition of McCollum Hall, which will be imploded in November.

University to host public forum on construction
The University of Kansas will host a public forum on Wednesday to allow Lawrence residents a more detailed look at the renovations and redevelopments of the University's Central District.
The forum, hosted by the Office of Design and Construction Management, will take place from 5-7 p.m. at the Schwegler Elementary School gym, 2201 Ousdahl Road.
The Central District, also known as the Irving Hill area, is bounded by West 15th Street, West 19th Street, Naismith Drive and Iowa Street.
The presentation will be a series of small conversations between attendees and University officials rather than one large presentation, according to KU News. Officials will also provide visuals related to the Central District Development as well as the overall Campus Master Plan.
The forum is part of the land-use agreement with the city of Lawrence. An additional forum will be held from 4-6 p.m. Aug. 24 in the Burge Union.
