This residence hall expresses design ideas and principles we have developed for residential life: one main entry; stairway and commons off entry; breaking spaces into recognizable neighborhoods or "houses."

This 425 bed dormitory is massed in segmental "houses" along the brow of a hill in a crescent following a main road. This scheme reinforces the central campus pathway, which links the road to the classroom building and the field house wooded knoll to the north of the road is similarly reinforced as a campus landmark.

The siting of the building takes advantage of uninterrupted views to the countryside, while also optimizing sunlight to the residential units. Sixty-five percent of the suites face this direction. The main building lounge or "commons" is sited with a large terrace facing southwest.
