Executive Summary

This new student housing building is arranged to create the appearance of a village, complementing the entire campus and integrated by a pedestrian footpath that connects a new courtyard to the center of campus.  The building is comprised primarily of 4-bedroom suites, each with a shared bathroom and living area.  Small lounge areas are provided on each floor, and the ground floor includes a private residence for the hall director, a common lounge, and a central laundry facility. This abstract outlines the building architecture, general project team, structural systems, mechanical systems, and electrical systems.
