The project consisted
of construction of a six-story
building and basement
structure totaling over
60,000 square feet of
floor area. The building
consisted of pre-cast
hollow core floor planks,
which were supported by
reinforced CMU walls.
The roof was structural
steel, wood truss and
stick
frame construction. The
perimeter walls were clad
with 4” brick veneer
applied with banding and
relief detailing. The
roofing was asphalt shingle
construction and the windows
were operable insulated
aluminum units.
The plan dictated seven
staggered modules each
with step backs on the
upper levels. This created
a complicated yet visually
appealing cascade
effect for the structure.
The building mechanical
systems were concealed
in the structure and the
heating and cooling were
provided by a 3-pipe
chiller/boiler system.
Interior finishes were
designed to stand up to
the
normal abuse inflicted
by college students. Each
living module consisted
of three or four rooms
and a common bathroom
and living room.
