Student socialization is enhanced within this six-building complex which combines living, social, and recreational spaces. The basic building block is a 24-student living space with social recreation and quiet study spaces. Outside, a piazza teems with activity from the surrounding housing, classrooms, multipurpose rooms, and dining venues. A light-filled dining hall anchors the complex and serves as a community destination. This project was completed four months ahead of schedule, allowing the University to utilize the facility for Summer conferences.
