Campuses work best when buildings are linked by pathways and outdoor spaces. This new residential village is on the main north/south pedestrian spine of the North Residential Campus. The two four-story, U-shaped dormitories will house 448 students. With their central courtyards they create a central hub that encourages gathering and enhances the sense of community. The interiors of both dormitories further this feeling of community. In both, the central stair and lobby provide a meeting area on each floor. Large windows provide an abundance of natural light in these core areas and encourage gatherings and group activities.
