Major Trends In University Residence Halls
Peter Fabris

They’re not ‘dorms’ anymore. Today’s collegiate housing facilities are lively, state-of-the-art, and green—and a growing sector for Building Teams to explore.

There are logical reasons why university residence halls are one of the stronger sectors for AEC firms in the current construction market. Age is one of them. Many colleges and universities have a portfolio of ageing residence halls constructed in the 1960s and 1970s for the post-war generation. The baby boomers’ children, the so-called “echo boomers,” and even their ...

At a Friday, May 7 public meeting on the Benedictine College campus, Denton Nichols and Dick Tilghman of Treanor Architects and Joel Grimmet along with Pat Willoughby from JE Dunn construction, described details of the new Academic Center. The 57,000 square foot, 85 foot high building will break ground on June 11. After years of record enrollment, new academic space is very much needed. As Nichols described it, this will truly be the signature building on campus, "quoting" architecturally from the Mount, Abbey and newer campus buildings, which he studied and got to know and love.

If you’re greening up existing buildings, or envision a campus of new LEED-certified facilities, it’s easy to imagine the possibilities. Sure, there are a lot of things you could do. And then reality sets in.

The question on many campuses evolves from “What can we do to achieve more sustainable student life buildings?” to “What can we realistically pay for?” A better question might be, “How can we build green in a way that actually adds money to our bottom line?”
