South Residential Village Residence Halls

This project consisted of the construction of two new 4-story residence halls to house 600 second-year students. Corridor-style living features mostly double rooms with communal restrooms, as well as open study areas and floor lounges.

In addition to living space, a large, glass-enclosed multi-purpose room with a 100-person capacity was included in the project. A large green space between the two buildings features:

• A “gathering grove” with hammocks and string lighting
• A “reading and wellness garden” for studying and relaxing
• A “play lawn” for outdoor recreation

The buildings’ façades are mostly a blend of brick, granite, and glass, in a modern re-interpretation of nearby Little Italy’s current aesthetic.

The project was designed and constructed to achieve LEED Silver certification.
